For slugs & snails a small jar buried to its top in the ground half filled with lite beer works best.You can then use the reamins as fertilzer for the bed. If you can't be bothered grinding up soap you can buy Lux Flakes that everyone used to wash their baby clothes in which you can then mix up with boiling water and dilute with cold water. Throw in some garlic, lemon and chilli, marinate over night, strain and water. You can't go wrong (hopefully).

Only problem is the dog drinking/eating the beer/slug/snail mix. Clearly too tasty!
