And that's Mister Sluggo to you bub!
Last night was a massacre --
got at least fifty slugs in the garden and after posting, walked around the house and got another ten or twenty.
Didn't do any Slug salting this morning -- wanted to get down to the Farmer's Market. I didn't have a booth but wanted to make sure everyone set up in the area I had planned (best visibility from the highway and better parking) Had six vendors and customers and vendors were having a lot of fun.
Just spent another twenty minutes walking through the garden and around the house and only found about 30-40 slugs total. Having an impact! I know there are a butt-load of egg cases just waiting to hatch so I will need to be diligent but still, a few minutes of prevention each evening before bed will go a long way to save my garden. I was talking with a neighbor who has a large produce garden and although they are doing OK, a friend of theirs had their garden totally destroyed -- what the bunnies left, the slugs finished off.
A bad year for agriculture when you don't like to spray.
