If you go to Starbucks or Costa Coffee you can get coffee grounds for free by the bag load and you just spred this around the plant base to stop the slugs. You can also spray the plant leaves with a normal strength cup of instant coffee, the cheapest brand is as effective as the dearer brands.

The benefits are endless...even if you don't like onions. We start them as seedlings in a big pot and when they have hardened off we transplant to random spots in our gardens.
