I also use Sluggo in the beds, around plants I know the slugs love to
eat down to the ground. It works pretty well.

What is 'sluggo'?
I use Cory's Snail Bait which claims that it can be used safely around
vegetables . My snow peas are being devastated by slugs. Interestingly enough,
they haven't attacked the newly planted roses. I am in a new place and am not
too familiar with garden denizens yet -- since I am starting a new garden from
scratch.

i heard something about putting some beer in a shallow pan. my
father-in-law tried this and he swears it worked. not sure why, the
snails get drunk and forget where they were?? anyone hear of this?

Yes, it's popular with the organic brigade, who call it a Slug Pub. The
idea is that the little dears smell the brew, fall in and drown. Then
you clean them out and start again. Never works for me.
