I feed my slugs out -of-date beer(to keep my beer-drinking husband happy) or yeast sprinkled on water. Also use the boards and daily picking. I don't know how the snail traps do, but I hear that copper works if it's feasible. Question: I have espaliered my currants at close quarters to keep the varmints at bay and actually picked some this year. Would like input on the correctness of growing currants. Are the new varieties resistant. Sally Katkaveck(Use phonics here)
