T O P I C R E V I E WorchidspiritDoes anyone have any tips for detracting slugs from my cabbages and cauli's with out harming them? We are having a dreaful time trying to control them.We also have ants in the greenhouse, that refuse to find another place to live. I was told that ants dont like bay leaves, but when I put some in the greenhouse they just trampled all over them - so that theory didnt work.Any tips would be greatOrchid xjuniperbTo the best of my knowledge there is no control without harm I have a terrible problem with them too. I put out small cups (around the plant & set in the ground) filled with beer , they love it, fall in and expire. It is the best control I know.------------------If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans. ~James HerriotorchidspiritThanks JuniperbI have been doing that, but its makes me feel guilty, so I am trying to find another solution.I'll continue with the beer until a new method of control comes to lightYinHey Juni, I want to be a slug in your garden juniperb Yin, *burp* okey dokey ------------------If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans. ~James HerriotRandall ------------------"Never mentally imagine for another that which you would not want to experience for yourself, since the mental image you send out inevitably comes back to you."
