I was reading the list for a while, and it is my first post.

Perhaps it is a FAQ, but I'm very interested about how to get rid of
slugs and snails.  Baby slugs ruined my strawberrys some year ago.  Each
fruit was bited (I know that were the slugs, not birds: I saw them while
eating).

Margaret told about 50-50 ammonia solution.  How often it would be
necessary spraying the plants?  The soil too?  Where the critters hide
themselves?


Sorry for my poor English.
