Make sure you use mulch and not chips or nuggets. The mulch tears up the
soft underbellies of slugs and snails and they won't cross it. There are
other solutions like traps, copper and DE, but mulch is the cheapest and
least labour intensive of all of them.


...if you have wimpy-ass Canadian slugs.


My red-necked Southern slugs pick their teeth...or what passes for
teeth---with mulch.
