Any more advice? Has this happened to anyone else? |
A simple but effective advice to for your
plant care. Put a tablespoon of cornmeal in a jab and lay it on the sides wherever you find slugs. The slugs love this stuff and after eating it they die. Place used coffee grounds (the stronger the better) or broken egg shells in a circular perimeter around the plant. This will kill the slugs. Use sand. PUt sand around your young plants. Be generous with the sand. Slugs hate sand because it rips their bellies open and they die.
