Hi all guys! well.....despite of what I was convinced when I started this thread, the last visit to my baby told me alot about the misterious holes

I have found a SLUG on a leaf

I have not a pic of the slug - I was in a hurry to KILL THAT BICHHHH - anyway Ihave found a clearly sign of the passage of a slug on another leaf -- see the pic3

I would like to thank people that suggest that way at the first, because now, it seems the best answer to me too

slugs love rainy days, they proliferate a lot and my coffee barrel is less effective after raining.... so one of them reach to pass the barrel....
maybe some weeks ago some slugs can climb that part of the plant in some other way and made the holes..... I dunno

The problem is not spreading...the newer part of the plant seems less affected, anyway the holes are still there

I have cut some lower branches, some infected leafs adn some herbs nearby... I have sprayed some NUTS on the first day and some BIO-INSECTICEDE on the second day as usual

we have so many slugs in the garden...... this would become an endless battle
