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."

It's a shame. I've been a newsgroup junkie since 88. Sorry to see it
all
pass.

According to goggle groups you have not posted that much till 2008 and
I'd guess your number increase is due to cross posting.

Should have posted this.

1997 was the year Google bought the Dejanews archives. At that time
Dejanews archives went back to 1995. Sorry dude, I've been around since the
birth of the net and I even got to take part in the delivery. I still have
a nanosecond I got from Admiral Grace Hopper. It.s a piece of wire 11.8
inches long. And I treasure it.
