  10. Not vinegar or lemon – slugs will stop eating your plants if you spray

    Slugs can be quite a pain when it comes to your garden. In the UK, the pests tend to show up more frequently from spring through to autumn. They thrive in warm, damp conditions and often wreak havoc during wet weather. Now…

  14. Occasionally the kiln gods are kind to me.

    (Global alt text: several photographs of two stoneware mugs with handles that look like orange slugs with brown spots and little eyestalks. The mugs also have clay leaves and flowers scattered in a few places. Some of the leaves have little nibbles taken out of them.)

    How to Get Rid of #Slugs and #Snails in the #Garden

    via #TheFarmersAlmanac

    Excerpt: "Trap and Remove Slugs and Snails

    - Create the perfect slug and snail trap by laying boards, cabbage leaves, or pieces of cardboard on the bare soil around your plantings. Start by watering the ground if it’s dry, then place a plank of wood or similar over the surface. Check back the next morning, and you’re very likely to find slugs lurking beneath. Pick them off and return the plank to collect the next batch.
    - Citrus halves, like grapefruit skins, are highly effective slug collectors because they create a cool, shady recess for our slugs to hang out in. Again, lay down shells at strategic locations—close to susceptible crops like salad greens or tender seedlings. For something longer-lasting, you can use half a coconut shell at each corner of your raised bed (after you’ve enjoyed the coconut flesh, of course), which they like to crawl into.
    - Then, there are beer traps. Everyone knows about luring slugs to a drunken death by placing shallow dishes of beer around the garden. They can’t resist the stuff! Note that any yeasty, sweet liquid will attract them, so keep the beer for yourself and make a gooey brew that the slugs will find delicious by mixing equal parts flour and water with a heaping spoonful of molasses, a sprinkling of cornmeal, and a teaspoon of yeast. Put this goop in shallow containers around the yard, and it will have much the same effect as beer without having to ask for ID."

  29. Uninvited Guests: Understanding Why Your #Garden is Infested with #Slugs

    by Raymond Patterson

    "Organic Solutions

    If you prefer to keep your gardening practices in line with organic methods, there are solutions that can help. Consider using:

    #DiatomaceousEarth: Sprinkling this natural powder creates a barrier that damages slugs physically, deterring them from crossing.
    Grapefruit Halves [orange halves work too]: Place grapefruit halves in your garden. Slugs are attracted to the fruit and will take shelter inside, allowing you to dispose of them easily. [Use precautions when disposing]"
