Re: Slugs and Directions
It's true that the slugs won't cross salt, but I'm not sure you want it in
your garden. Sprinkling diatomaceous earth on the surface should also deter
them.

I wonder if a tendency to attract slugs is genetic....Shellie- do you
attract slugs? LOL........Tim...slug bait works great (Buggeta slug pellets
is what I use) but might take a few applications and dont go into the garden
at night barefoot....icky. As a second round of defense while waiting for
the
slug bait to get the enemy I would put a ring of salt on the ground or
pumpkin platform around the pumpkin just incase anyone gets
through..............G
