Over the last few months the slugs have been out in force in
my garden
eating everything they can. I have tried two different types
of slug
pelletts but as an owner of two kitties i was limited in my
choice.

So, I had heard about slugs and beer and last night despite
the
protests of my husband i took some of his beer and some small
pots and
placed them around the garden.

This morning much to my delight the little beer-laden pots
were full of
slugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!

Now, I intended to repeat this victory tonight but the
question is do i
need to put fresh beer in every night or will the slug/beer
mixture
continue to work?

****. If only it were that easy to get shot of pest ******s
like you.

PLONK!

Why don't you go take a running jump, Foulmouth.
You are not welcome on a decent gardening thread so go plonk
yourself. It's
probably what you already do anyway when nobody's looking.
Since the mother who dragged you up failedin her duty I am here to
tell you
the poster is spot-on with the method of ridding a garden of slugs
and
snails, and has been since I was pupped.
Some time ago I bought from an ad in a newspaper ten special
plastic cup
things with a lid on each which allowed entry up the sides and you
put beer
inside. They were quite successful.
I don't need them now and have been dumped. I have a static pond
and the
toads and frogs do the job when they are in short residence each
year.
I still get a few here and there but I deal with them in the
approved
fashion. I stood on five this morning.
A good time is when the duskis just complete and its dark. even
better if
things are a bit wet,
Put warm clothing on, - you've just come out of a warm house, -
patrol all
paths with a good flashlight
(battery torch), Stand on anything nasty you see. Then patrol the
fower
borders and with gloved hands pick up and bucket any nasties, and
if you
meet any plonkers give them a kick in the thingy.

Dads army lives!! Only difference is they were ready to fight armed
men, not defenseless creatures.

Do you have any idea how sad an old phart you sound?

When do you propose to apologise?
