Re: Anti-Slug "carpet"?

> Someone wrote not long ago about a certain kind of mulch or groundcover that slugs do not like to crawl over -- I've deleted or misplaced it, can anyone tell me what it was?  

Anything sharp.  Diatomaceous earth, oyster shells, egg shells, you name
it.  The sharper the better.  What's sharp to them is way less "sharp"
to us -- GLASS would do it, but of course, it would be harsh on us
as well.  Razor blades.... you get the idea.  It needs to be sharp on
them but not sharp on people, especially if there are kids around.
Stuff that you walk on and you go "ow" but doesn't cut you would
suffice.  Caliche here.
