The best way to remove slugs from your garden is to get one of those
small yellow margarine tubs and put beer in it. Put it under your hosta
and the next morning it will be full of slugs. Best of all you can drink
what ever beer you don't use. You don't need to full the tub. Half way
will do. Try it, you'll like it.

Question: What works best for you?

- copper
- sharp sand/gravel
- salt/manual
- other. please state
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am currently developing an anti snail/slug pot/planter. Any
information you have regarding what works best for you would be
greatly
appreciated. Copper, pellets, sharp gravel etc? Obviously if anyone
provides enough info which leads to the final product will recieve
more
pots then they will ever need. The pots we are currently testing are
around 94% effective. This is not good enough! We all know what 1 slug
can do! We are aiming for 100% before our product is available. As
mentioned before, any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Iron-Phosphate, a.k.a. ferric phosphate. Sheesh.

how do you use it?
ok around food plants?

Iron is a dietary necessity for humans and we add rock phosphate
to our gardens to support plants and microorganisms. Iron
phosphate is safe for gardens up to the day of harvest. It needs
to be re-applied every 2 to 3 weeks for maximum protection.

The product you buy will come as granuls that need to be cast
where you want protection. Maximum protection comes after one to
two days. 99% of the commercial product is inert ingredients.

Most slugs prefer micro breweries and, like civilized creatures, prefer
to drink it from a glass. Stouts are good. Be sure to put it by
your front gate or on your porch for maximum effectiveness. Where do you
live again, exactly? A google map would help the slugs to find their way
to your trap.

Charlie! Don't crowd me.
