How do you get your greenhouse slug-free?

I can get it pretty well slug free by keeping the door shut at night,
and
checking under and around pots at intervals and escorting out any slugs
and snails I find.

It would be more effective to search at night when they're feeding but
I'm
rarely that well organised.

It's not totally successful, so this year I've taken to putting a few
slug
pellets under the pots with particularly vulnerable things in. It's a
big
greenhouse, with an inner and outer section. Slugs rarely make it
through
into the inner section, but as that's obviously also the hotter section,
most of the vulnerable plants are in the outer section within 2-3 feet
of
the door.

I see, thanks. I take it that you don't have border soil in your houses!

No, most of what's in there is cacti.

That's what I thought.

But when you take in lupins they materialise :-)
