After buying a home last year, I started planting vegetables something I enjoyed doing in the past. Unfortunately, slugs have been having a wonderful time with my black seeded simpson lettuce. I've tried chemicals (Bug Getta) but the slugs still seem to attack them. Last year, they attacked my bean's leaves until I planted marigolds which for some reason, kept the slugs away.
Any suggestions as to how I can keep the slugs away from the lettuce? More importantlly, Is it safe to eat the lettuce leaves that have holes in them thanks to the slugs?
Thanks,
Jose
