How to you keep slugs out of the flower gardens?
you could run salt around the garden after every rain or you could get little sharp rocks and make a rock boarder for your garden, they wont cross anything that will cut them.
Reply:A permanent solution
To rid the garden of slugs and other pests permanently, the fertility and drainage of the soil need to be improved. Pests thrive in poorly drained, infertile soil. Enrich the soil with plenty of compost, and even more dried leaves, to making it water-retentive. Pests will all migrate to soil which is more to their liking. Forget about sprays. Spend that time improving the soil and you won't need to worry about pests next year.
Slugs in container gardens
Organic Gardening magazine recommends protecting container plantings with copper coins or tape glued to the container, but if the container soil is as water-retentive and well-drained as it should be, there is no need to worry about slugs.
Reply:Take a jar lid and fill it with beer and put in the garden slugs can't resist and they stay away from the plants.
Reply:1) Go to the store, buy a box of butter tarts and a six pack of beer.
2) Eat the butter tarts but save the foil trays
3) pour one beer into the tart trays
4) put the trays around the garden
5) kick back and enjoy the other 5 beer
Reply:Slugs like moist areas and so the main squeeze is to not give them a mosit area. Which means if you must remove all things to keep the area dry for a few days until you have got rid of them all, then plant your garden aferwards.
I do all my slug killing at night after you water down the around the house.
They will come out.
My friend told me you can get a plate of Beer and put them around your garden. The slugs climb in the Beer and drown./
