Hello everyone,

Our outdoor area is now more or less finished, and we are ready to move on. Since we haven’t made much progress with garden sheds and now plan to simply consult a local carpenter, the next project will be the greenhouse. Are there any recommended brands here that tend to last longer?

All the ones I have seen so far have plastic panels—are those durable enough?

Good luck

To control slugs without shells (according to my colleague who has a garden), Roman snails can help. The former feed on greenery, while the latter are supposed to eat the eggs of the former.

I haven’t checked if this is accurate yet.

Sorry, this was off-topic.

I've heard that too. Since we had a lot of both this year, I couldn't really tell who won the battle between good (Roman) and bad (gray field slug).
Well – I guess the battle isn’t over yet and will probably continue into next year.

Well – next year I will first indulge in the tedious hobby of a "small gardener" – snail hunting.
Fill cups with pilsner beer and distribute and bury them around the property; unfortunately, this is the only method that effectively eliminates these pests.

My father came up with a more drastic method. It involves a large, lockable cup and an “ice pick.”
This year, however, I decided to give the slugs flying lessons. Either onto the road, to give them a real chance in the game “Car vs. Slug” (whoever can swerve quickly wins :cool ), or into the garden of the unwanted... (dum, didum, didum).

That should be the end of my off-topic slug posts (this pun was just too good to pass up).
