Heather,
Sorry I called you Donna. I think she made the original post. Thanks again,
Heather, for the info. We don't have too many slugs. I don't see them
unless they fall into the beer trap. But I sure see the results of their
carnage. Big holes in the leaves of my hostas and others! I will try the
ammonia solution.
