"The Good Slug Guide" by Jo Kirby offers practical, eco-friendly advice for managing slugs and snails in your garden without harmful pesticides. By understanding their role in the ecosystem, you can turn them into allies while protecting your plants. This guide helps transform your garden into a thriving, pest-resilient space and is a must-read for modern gardeners looking for sustainable solutions.

My motive for reading this was not good -- I'm annoyed that slugs come onto my porch. I'm in the US and I learned a lot about different kinds of British slugs, but I also learned a lot about the other flora and fauna in my yard. I have a hedgehog family that eats some of my pests, and there was even some useful information on flies. The most practical advice was on gardening and how best to maintain the area. This was short but very useful. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

Thank you Jo for writing this surprisingly interesting book.

As a very keen gardener and naturalist, I found the information contained within the book most fascinating. Written in a down to earth (pardon the pun) way, it gives the reader lots of scientific information about slugs and snails as well as numerous suggestions on how to manage them in an organic and kinder way.

The only downside was lack of photos but this could've been due to the pre-publication version I read.

Thank you to the publishers for allowing me to preview via Netgalley.
