Dahlias! I had a heck of a time with slugs. I was told to sprinkle
diamotous earth around and the sharp edges of the DE would kill them. I
never got that far.

What other unexpected plants have you found that these nasties love?

Zantedeschia aethopia (green calla lily). I guess I would too if I were a
slug--the stems are very juicy-looking, like kale only more so.

I have found out they love marigolds I get lots of them in my garden
I wish someone would come up areally good idea to stop them coming
near

I also have problems with slugs in my garden. I haven't got marigolds
but i still get the slugs on my other plants.
