I visited the plants tonight and one of my cucumber pots was crawling with slugs. I removed about a dozen by hand. How effective are the natural remedies. I searched the Net and see that a bowl of cheap beer attracts the slugs who apparently are alcoholics. Once sated with the beer they forget to exit the bowl and die. Happily. Would a bowl of chips increase the effectiveness?
Anyone have any favorite methods? I'd even consider a chemical solution if it were not especially toxic.
Can I expect slugs to be less of an issue when the summer heat arrives? Do they burrow into the soil in the pots?
