Gardening anyone?

Another lovely day here,  but the ground is so dry now.

I am endeavouring to take the top few inches of soil off all my big tubs,  then add the Nematode mix,  and finish off  topping up with some fresh compost.    A long job because I've got too many tubs.   

Is that for slugs Mups ? 
If so does it work

Those little blue pellets don't. 

Really inaccurate out of an airgun and when I loaded a shotgun cartridge with them it blew the entire plant out of the pot.

I have a dog and don't put down pellets or poison of any sort
Have tried wood ash and eggshells but the slugs are toughies down my way.

Have you tried copper? I've read that they won't cross copper strips round the tops of pots. For sale in many places.
