Thanks for the advise. I feel bad enough getting rid of the slugs/snails! :D

I've only skimmed the replies, but if the entire plants have been eaten or attacked, its possible it could be a "bigger" problem.

When we first moved into our new house which had a fantastic garden already, we quickly planted some parsely, lettuce and a few other vegies.

When we checked the garden the following day the plants were half eaten. Now that must have been one hungry army of caterpillars or the possum in the tree above where we planted them wanted a mixed salad for tea :)

another way of collecting the slugs is just put a board down on the ground next to your garden. In the morning, it should have collected a bunch under it, that you can just get rid of (how ever you fancy :? ). For the snails there's always the beer trap...
