Slugs have devoured my hostas
Question from
My hostas have been decimated by slugs. One or two are already growing new leaves - can I cut the eaten laves back to aloow the new ones more room to grow? The eaten ones look awful.
Thanks!

"Fabulous! I really like the plant care calendar, it helps me keep my eye on the ball, especially with pruning!"
