When I slip to landing, I always crank in some small forward (down)

You already are high on approach (why do the slip?), last thing you want to
do at least in my opinion is add down trim for additional speed????
Right, I don't want more speed unless needed, so I pull a little back
on the yoke. But the slight trim offset allows me to let go and
automatically speed up and thus not worry so much about a stall.
( I must do this because of something that scared me in the past, but I
can't for the life of me recall what it was. Perhaps slipping on a
very gusty day or something? Or having to push forward and there was
some problem doing so? I dunno! :-)
Thanks for the response! Perhaps I'll change this habit.
