Default [IBC] SLUGS!

and it's been alleged that the ammonia is actually
good for the trees.



Slugs: the squirrels of the 21st century.

Ammonia is a nitrogen source, and in that sense, is good. However, it breaks down into ammonium, a volatile gas that is toxic to plants. No problem outdoors, but a big problem in enclosed environments. Growers who fertilize late in the fall and then put
their plants in hoophouses to overwinter often see ammonium toxicity.

Just being comprehensive,

Nina
