Hi there,

Around here, there are a fair amount of slaters,
also called rolly-pollies, pill-bugs, sow-bugs
etc.

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=slater

When tilling my little bit of land (formerly just
neglected grass in densely-packed soil), I found
some things a few cm.s deep, that might be slater
lavae or something. They were white/clear, and
didn't move when disturbed. (I also found a
developing caterpiller that got up and walked
away...)

So, are slaters dangerous for veggies (going in
over the next few weeks.)

Thanks in advance for your advice!
