Ok, Sal, Do you know of anyway one can use slug poison without causing
environmental or damage to beneficial insects?  Have not done so but just
thought I'd ask.  Kimo

Hey Kimo,

I've heard that crushed eggshells or human hair scattered around your
plants can provide a slug barrier. Also something called diatamaceous (or
something like that) earth. That's basically ground-up sea shells I think.
When the slugs crawl on the stuff it either abrades their bottom or sticks
so that they can't get to your plants.

This is just hearsay from a novice gardener. hope it helps.
