I have terrible trouble with garden pests - slugs, snails, greenfly, whitefly etc, and I spend all summer putting down pellets (which go furry) and spraying pests, or even avoiding plants which pests see as a tasty salad. The worst example was a chrysanthemum bush which I planted one aftternoon and which, the following morning, was just a tiny stem, as every scrap had been eaten.

Anyway, it occurred to me that garden centres don't have evidence of pest infestation, or else they would loose custom. Anybody kow how they do it? Slug charming? Stern warnings? Picking individual slugs and rehoming them? How is it done?
