Garlic is already being used in some products as a mollusc repellent but this research takes it a step further. Earlier work by Newcastle University also found that garlic kills slug eggs laid in the soil. The Newcastle University scientists looked at how applying a liquid containing garlic extract to soil affected slugs and snails’ movement through it. They also measured damage to a Chinese cabbage leaf. Garlic largely prevented the leaf from being eaten and killed a very high percentage of the creatures.
Lead researcher Dr Port said that the findings would be welcomed by organic gardeners looking for alternatives to pesticides. He said: “The research suggests that a home-made recipe of crushed garlic bulbs mixed with water could work on small-scale gardens.”

cool!!!!!!!!
