Topic: Slugs, Slugs and more Slugs
You too?!!!!
These things are disgusting and I seem to be more over run with them than usual. They say every bug has a 10 year peak cycle, I think this year is the slugs peak.
The birds are eating them, the groundhog is eating them. We cannot stay ahead of them.
1.
Step 1
put a few tablespoons of corn meal into your jar or container
2.
Step 2
put the jar, on it's side, in your garden
3.
Step 3
go out the next day and check, you will find dead slugs in and around the jar, because slugs LOVE corn meal but when they eat it, they explode and die!
Worth a try. Here is another one to try.
1.
Step 1
Get some sawdust. You can make it yourself or you can go to any lumber yard and they'll probably just give some to you.
2.
Step 2
Go out to the infected area and ring your plants with sawdust. Typically I create a ring about four inches away from the stalk of the plant. Try to make your ring about 1 inch wide and 1/2 inch tall.
3.
Step 3
If you have the patience and the weathers nice you can Just sit back and observe. Watch the slug slide over the ring of sawdust and begin to writhe in agony as the moisture is absorbed from it body.
4.
Step 4
If you want to make it especially painful on the slug top off your sawdust ring with a layer of salt. You can almost hear them scream.
LOL
