Kock Sluggers

Whats a good method to keep slugs from eating the crap out of your plants.

you can put sand around your palnts. on top of your soil. The sand will cut them up and they will die. Also can use baby powder in top of soil this dries up the
slug.

i havnt seen any on my plant but i would put street salt on the slug to make sure he died painfully for eating my plants

sand sounds like a pretty good idea does it hold up in the rain

Ye I have to go to my patch almost 3 times a day.. i think i kill damn near 40 slugs a day... i have not found a good method for killing em or preventing them.....

I mean shit there are tons of methods...

like pouring sand down... or even broken glass.

theres salt but plants hate that shit and you dont want to do that..

the beer in the coolwhip bucket is a good one but you have to go out there everytime it rains and replace the beer...

Something you can do is also water your ladies in the morning... slugs come out when its humid/damp... if you water in the morning by the time its night your soil is dry.. this helps!

I havent tried any of this shit yet i have no idea what to do either... i say stay away from the chemicals and all that jazz...

I use diatomaceous earth around mine, sprinkled in a circle.

Heard of using copper but haven't tried it.

I was gonna say put a circle of salt around your plant...but i'm probably wrong.

I use copper it works good but i don't have any on hand for this plant maybe a handfull of pennies would work.

if pennies where made of 100% copper, but im almost positive its a mix otherwise they would be very expensive right now... and turn green like the statue of liberty wayyy faster than they do. but you can grab copper from wires... look aroudn the house for old extension cords or whatever strip the copper out of them and wrap it around the base of the plant, should keep the sluggs away.

I just use a bag of perimeter bug repelent. it's for ants, slugs and others. I refresh the boarders of my garden once a week. Dead slugs around, but not in my garden.

Put a bowl of beer out there, slugs love it - then they go and drown in it.

they make copper blockers for slugs. Copper tape, copper fences, copper sheets. Ive always used slug pellets if im having a problem, that works fine.

Slugs have always been one of the easiest pests to get rid of for me.
