Hey Guys,
This started out as for advice on the plus or minus of slugs and snails
!!!!!!
Botton line is snails and slugs are good for nothing except bird food. Get
some ducks or chickens if you want to control them organically. They also
hate copper and will not cross a strip of copper, so you can wrap copper
foil around the stems of affected plants and they will not crawl past that.
Go out in the morning and pick them off by hand. Look for their hiding
places (under rocks and boards); they will not be very far from the plants.
Reduce the number of hiding places. Use slug and snail bait where needed.
Got to reduce their populations. - Thanks, C.
