Re: slugs

        Hello,

        We tried the beer "thing" and all I ever caught in the dishes were
        mosquitos.  My husband tells me that it is the yeast in beer that 
        supposedly attract the slugs and not the beer itself.  I don't know
        if I should just try yeast & water this summer....if they don't go
        for it, I could at least make some bread.  I do pick & pick the 
        slugs off the iris, especially in July and August.  Maybe I should
        drink the beer.
