Guest guest Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Hello Heidi, and everyone Try putting out saucers of beer. The slugs will go for the beer first. And beer helps with plant growth as well:) Not to much beer on the plants, or you will have a fungus problem. But if you add it to you compost it can be very helpful in making the compost richer, and shorten the brake down time. Whey and yeasty sourdough bread starter are good too.(the last two I do not know what they will do for slugs, but your compost will like them) Krickett Heidi Schuppenhauer <heidis@...> wrote: We have a great greenhouse in the area that sells starters for all kinds of neat plants ... I'm sure they will have chrysanthem-jums. I can't grow from seed, the slugs eat them as fast as they sprout and I forget to water containers. -- Heidi >heidi, we both had the same idea. can't wait to get some of the chrysanthemjum seeds, but need to know which variety. anyone know? i'll trade a kombucha mushroom for some seeds??? diana > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does work -- around here you have to keep renewing the beer though because the rain washes out the beer. Now I have chickens running around, who eat baby plants AND the slugs! Actually my best gardening to date has been in big containers on the deck. I'd guess I can grow chry. there! -- Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
