Yes, it's that time of year again. I hope it's not too late, considering the mild, wet winter we've had. I saw plenty of adult slugs under stones as I took a quarter of this packet of nematode cysts per watering-can and spread them over the entire allotment. There'll be another dose for the little gits in a couple of months' time...
