I don’t normally have much luck with peas. At first, I thought they weren’t germinating, but I have since realised that the slugs have been getting them. This year, I decided to do a pre-emptive strike with Helix Tosta 6x. This is a remedy made from toasted snail shells, and has been proved to be very effective against slug and snail damage. The 6x potency has a much higher amount of the substance in it than 6c or 30c.
As soon as I saw the little green shoots coming through, I dissolved some of the granules in my watering can and watered it on. Even the seedlings that hadn’t emerged would still absorb the remedy through their roots. About a week or so later, you can see that my peas are un-munched and doing very well. I haven’t used any other slug prevention tactics this year – I usually use those little blue organic slug pellets. I am so pleased with the results!
I also treated my emerging carrot seedlings, which usually fall foul of the little slimy munchers. These are also looking very prolific. I keep studying me brassicas for the first signs of aphids or whitefly, so I can zap them too. I am actually looking forward to an infestation so that I can try out agro homeopathy on them!

Here a UK based Gardening Homeopath relates how she prevented Slugs from eating her peas with a dose of Homeopathic Helix Tosta.
Where will you get this product? Since you are in the UK, I am in the US, are there any online stores? Do you have any remedy for strange small holes appearing in your plants. I don’t know who is eating them.
I’ve just made a page of suppliers on my sidebar, so hope that helps.
The strange little holes sound like flea beetle. They jump up when you put your hand over the plant. I haven’t tried it yet, but Kaviraj recommends Hyssop. Maute says Sulphur ‘works on anything that crawls or flies’. Please let me know if you try it!
that’s great news. It is a wonderful remedy and one that would change the mind of any skeptic. I rarely have a problem with slugs and snails now thanks to Helix Tosta. I’ve been using it for the last few planting seasons with great success. Keep up the good work. Martin Byrne
Thanks for that! I was amazed with the results, and I don’t know why it isn’t more widely used.
