Hi Heather and Sandy...sorry, I got this a bit late...what you use is about
what I use Heather, maybe a wee bit less ammonia, but it will work just the
same...I don't spray on plants, this tends to burn leaves, but it will not
damage plants if sprayed (I know from personal experience :)
I just keep the spray bottle on hand and go out each morning on my slug run
to make sure things aren't getting out of control once the main job is done...
