Does 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 great Orchid x IP: Logged |

To 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 Herriot IP: Logged |

Thanks 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 light IP: Logged |
