Re: Intro,Slugs,Composting -Reply

I learned from my GARDENS.REC forum that I subscribe to that spraying
a mixture of 50/50 ammonia and water will kill slugs.   Make sure you
don't spray the plants though because it will burn the leaves.

I compost my dead slugs and snails.  I figure it adds organic matter
to the pile.  Or, maybe if you cut them in half to kill them, the
birds will come eat them the next day.  I don't know if they will or
not, just a thought.
