Hi,


I'm new here and I was wondering if anyone has a good solution to
getting
rid of slugs in their gardens. They eat almost everything in my garden
it
seems. I do put down eggshells, but the birds come down and pick them up
all
the time. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Beer!

(1) Leave dishes (cut down plastic bottles/containers) around with 1/2in of
beer in the bottom and they will crawl in and drown. No toxic chemicals
involved. Your karma is preserved as they die happy. You have to dispose of
the corpses to where the ants can get them though and renew after rain.

(2) Drink it and forget about the slugs.
