materials include hardwood ashes, charcoal, pine bark chips, copper,
diatomaceous earth, eggshells, gravel, hair, lime, quackgrass, sand,
and sawdust. Slugs and snails do NOT like azaleas, apricot, basil,
beans, chard, daffodils, ginger, holly, sage, and rhubarb. Predators
include backbirds, ducks, frogs, toads, lizards, and snakes. Have you
tried attending beer traps daily?
