Slugs eat hostas because they are a delicious leaf.If you think that they are not edible you deserve to loose them to the slugs and snails.The leaves are eaten whole, bites taken as you enjoy the rest of the meal.

You've reminded me to go and have a look for mine. I can't remember where I put them! Can you tell I don't 'do' non-edibles ;)They're looking good Georgie, even Invincible hasn't been stripped bare so there's hope yet......
I've always found that boiling up two big bulbs of garlic (peeled first) and spraying liberally over the plants, then surrounding the hosta with a mulch of coffee grounds sends the slugs running....www.fennelandfern.co.uk
