I visited the plants tonight and one of my cucumber pots was crawling
with
slugs. I removed about a dozen by hand. How effective are the natural
remedies. I searched the Net and see that a bowl of cheap beer attracts
the
slugs who apparently are alcoholics. Once sated with the beer they
forget
to exit the bowl and die. Happily. Would a bowl of chips increase the
effectiveness?

Anyone have any favorite methods? I'd even consider a chemical solution
if
it were not especially toxic.

Can I expect slugs to be less of an issue when the summer heat arrives?
Do
they burrow into the soil in the pots?

You sure, you should be gardening?

OK, so this means you have nothing of any use to say?

I doubt it, but it looks like this newsgroup is getting closer to
"dead."
