Topic: slugs
Yesterday the holes in some of the chard leaves were unmistakable. I'd been in denial, but I peered closely at the leaves of a struggling zuchinni plant. Slugs! Tiny slugs, the size of long-grain rice, but lots and lots of slimy grey slugs! Aaagh! I poured Sluggo pellets around the raised bed, and tore off the infested leaf and threw it near the sluggo.
Today it's raining. Please, Sluggo (non-toxic biodegradable slug bait), do your work. I will not go out and pick up slugs and kill them.
I've used Sluggo in years past. In my experience it slows them way down but doesn't stop them. Only picking up all of them stops them, and that's not going to happen here.
