"Sluggo" or nematodes should take care of the slugs and
snails.



where does one get the slug removing nematodes? i can't use
Sluggo in the pastures, & slugs are the intermediary vector
for meningeal worms.

I found the nematodes by Googling after reading a reference to them in
"Teaming with Microbes" by Jeff Lowenfels and Wayne Lewis. Sluggo claims
to be good on vegetable gardens up to the day of harvest. I've tried to
elicit negative responses to the product but so far no one has
criticized it. I don't like the idea of using chemicals either but,
damn, it seems to be about 90% effective and saves me most of my
midnight excursions into the garden patch.
