I have some lobelia growing in the garden and it is dying, under the trailing parts but on top of the soil is a white glue-like substance.... is this what is killing it and what can I do about it?

Quotewhite glue-like substance

This sounds like slug trails as they to and fro to eat your lobelia

I'll bet you have slug pelets round them too???

I'll go for slugs - in my garden at home where they have died from the pellets they have for some reason this year left behind a white `snot` like substance!

Dont know why though!!!  :o

The ingredients in slug pellets causes the slug to swell to bursting point the gunge is the slugs/snails innards!

smells a bit like mushrooms so could it be a type of fungus?
