RE: heat zones, delphinium, etc.< slugs

I have used the generic equivelent to Escar-go- works ok on most things, but
somehow they still get to my delphiniums.  Maybe to crawl over the other
dead slugs bodies, I don't know.  It has been an ongoing mystery to me.

Theresa and all you other slug fighters-Have you ever used Escar-go! from
Gardens Alive?  Amazingly effective and quite non toxic.
