They're a tad more expensive, but cheaper than replacing plants! I have only 2 Delphiniums, and they are in pots, and have survived a couple of seasons this way, with a bit of 6X chicken manure for feed. I hope this helps.<br /><br />Pam - the soil is a lot drier up there (Tam's allotment was absolutely parched) so perhaps that makes a difference. That said, we put some sweet peas in Tam's garden, and I said put slug pellets down "just in case2" and the death toll next morning was 22!Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-86127609484470086592015-07-30T17:09:20.345-07:002015-07-30T17:09:20.345-07:00That gorgeous blue of the Delphiniums!

Same thing happened to the yellow Lupins and the Salvias. I don't use slug pellets because of the birds and the little hedgehog family that lives in my garden, so plants have to survive or die!
