Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

The water in the New River is not usually clear but sometimes it is and here is what can be seen on those rare occasions:

Small dark slugs that live in the soil are the ones that can do so much damage to growing vegetables.  I use nematodes to control them.  We still see the big green ones that feed in the food waste bin and today, for the first time, I saw a leopard slug.  I don't know what they eat but it was not near any food crops.  Wikipedia tells me that these can grow to be 8 inches long but the one I saw was less than half that size.

Leopard Slugs live primarily off decaying matter but will also eat other species of slugs. As such they are more of a gardeners friend than enemy. 
They also have one of the most extraordinary mating rituals. It’s worth looking up a video of it.
