A great source of organic gardening stuff is "Gardens Alive!" I noticed
in the recent catalog that they have something called "Slug-Out" which
doesn't hurt slugs or snails in any way, it just creates a barrier to
keep them from away from whatever the Slug-Out is sprinkled around (I've
never liked hurting slugs.) Anyway, Gardens Alive! also sells
insecticidal soaps and oils and foliar sprays and all kinds of stuff.
