		Netting over the kale. And since that stops the frog and the blackbirds getting at the slugs, I sprinkle a few pellets under the netting if there seem to be lots of slugs - I have those tiny black ones that are so hard to see in the soil. The dry weather seems to be keeping numbers down though. elsewhere in the garden I leave predators and pests to get on with it.
