My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Slugs in container

10 years ago

Last summer I planted tomatoes in large pots. I had slugs. First time ever. My question is - can I use the earth from those pots in my raised garden or do I risk having slugs in my garden? Or should I just get rid of it? I live in a zone 3 so I'm hoping nothing would have survived over the winter.
