Slugathon

[primsong]

I get to go out and be the Slug-Bait Fairy again today, tossing it about like sparkle-dust that magically eliminates slimy little daffodil-and-tulip-leaf-eaters.

How do you deal with slugs and snails where you are?

I used to try the 'toss them in the street to be run over' version when I was in CA, but I had a *lot* smaller yard and a main road nearby to crunch them before they could make it back to the sidewalk. I've considered those little slug-barns you fill with beer to drown them in, but the idea of having to dispose of little gloopy containers of beer-marinated dead slugs is enough to put me off my feed for quite a while. Bait makes me feel like an industrial criminal, waving chemicals over the earth, but hey...it works....

Back to slug-bait dust... *toss toss toss*

Is slug bait different to slug pellets? I don't like the latter because cats can get them on their paws when they come to 'decorate' your garden, they lick them off and then get poisoned.

Beer is best I believe. Or get a toad or two, or a hedgehog. Even a fox will eat slugs.

Sorry to hear about all your trials and tribulations. Hope things start looking brighter afer the court case.
