The earthworms and everything else seemed to carry on as before. Not only
were the results organically correct, they were dramatic.

I would like to encourage others to try a heavy sprinkling of fresh
(un-brewed) grounds to deal with slugs. I have a 300 sq ft garden and only
used about 2# of coffee (from a 5# can of "the cheap stuff"), so the
expense is not unbearable.

Apparently their nervous systems can not deal with that much caffeine.

So, Bill, do the ground coffe have to be unbrewed? I was thinking of giving
the slugs brewed creme-brulee coffee grounds :-) The aroma will attract them
and then kapow! :-)

Anyway, I will try your method.
