I have been having a problem with slugs in my vegetable garden. Apparently, I didn't do something with the soil last fall and I have bazillions of baby slugs feasting on my lettuce, cabbage and beans. I found information on making slug traps by cutting "windows" into the upper parts of empty 8 oz. containers such as those that hold sour cream, placing the container in the ground, and partially filling it with beer. Then I'd place the lid on it to keep out the rain. Marvelous idea, I thought--until tonight when I came out into my garden and saw that a skunk had attacked the containers. Now I am quite familiar with the term "Drunk as a skunk".
Anyway, does anyone have any ideas as to an organic slug killer? Other than going out there every night with a flashlight and physically removing them. I was thinking of sprinkling salt on the "feasting tables" but then realized it would probably burn the plants.
Thank you.
