Okay everyone, I need your help. It appears the slugs were out in full force last night munching away at my young broccoli starts. This is very bad news as we need the broccoli to grow so we can enjoy some stir fry dinners this fall.
Normally I would just walk out to the garden with the salt shaker and douse the little buggers into a salt coma, but these slugs apear to be attacking my plants in the middle of the night.
Now I’ll admit it, I totally lack skills when it comes to pest patrol, manly because I don’t have many problems with them. But I do remember a bunch of you chatting in the comment section a while back about using beer as slug bait. So today I went over to Albertsons and paid $1.39 for a can of beer {I hope the slugs aren’t picky}. Beer is not something I typically buy so I just bought the cheapest thing I could find. The cashier gave me a weird look when she had to okay my purchase {apparently I DO look over 21}. I quickly told her it was for the slugs and not me, but she just rolled her eyes. LOL I guess that’s what I get for buying a giant can of beer at 7am.
Anyway, NOW WHAT?
What am I suppose to do with it?
Where do I put, and in what kind of container?
How many will I catch?
Mavis needs YOUR help!
