Me too I have one hosta and the slugs think it’s the deli bar !
Same here, they start off lovely then the slugs come out to eat. There seems to be more than ever this year too. The gravel doesn't seem to stop them and I don't fancy using pellets.
I have been known to go out with a torch, around 2 am, remove them from the leaves,( slugs and snails) put them in a bucket, then put them over in the field right next to me.
I have learnt over the years to only grow my Hostas in large containers which I keep raised up off the ground. Splitting them was difficult until I realised I needed to grow them in pots that were more narrow at the bottom than the top.
