Well, I've arrived far too late!!!. On the early sprouting hostas the
foliage was severely ravaged by these %??@ bugs and, frankly, the plants
looked dreadful. The only thing I could do was trying to clean the base
of the plants and shovel some slug bait. I can only check these plants
once a week at the most. Is there any hope for these plants to make some
new growth?. What can I do??? >>
Jose and others,
Are you sure the damage is caused by slugs? It is unlikely that slugs come
out in cool weather. Could it perhaps be cutworms? Some of my emerging hostas
have been chewed by these.
What can you do?
Apply Sevin around the base of the plants.
Good luck!
