Why Slug Damage Feels Worse After Rain

You walk out after rain and the damage feels instant. Seedlings gone. Leaves shredded. It feels random, relentless, and unfair. This video explains why it keeps happening and why it follows the same pattern year after year.

Slugs are not appearing by chance. Their life cycle, hiding behaviour, and hatch timing line up perfectly with weather, soil cover, and garden layout. Once you see the pattern, the damage stops feeling mysterious and starts feeling manageable.

In this video, you will learn why most slug advice fails, which methods quietly make the problem worse, and how to intercept slugs before they reach your plants. This is not about wiping out every slug. It is about breaking the cycle so pressure drops instead of resets every season.

If slug damage keeps returning no matter what you try, this will help you understand what the garden is responding to and how to stay ahead of it rather than reacting after the damage is done.
