Slugs!

Just read your blog, Resinone, I've heard of beer traps before.
A patient of mine has been using unravelled steel wire cleaning sponges, very effectively too.

I've never heard of permaculture but it's a good thing if it can be done.
The link on your other page took me to website that has been deleted now.

I don't drink beer, I don't like the stuff, but I suppose there are other ways of getting rid of slugs. I throw them into the field at the bottom of my garden :)
I can never catch them all but I don't mind a few nibbles on my plants.

This is the new link that takes you straight to the article Hywel

Hi Kate, this is a different approach to the other beer traps as it just has the holes in the sides for the slugs to get in and insects to get out. The rain can't dilute the mix as it's got a lid on and the accumulation of slugs in there seems to tempt them even more, it's that lovely slug decaying aroma! . It doesn't need the constant renewing either.

It certainly sounds an efficient way to get rid of the slugs, Resinone, plus insects can escape freely. Plus, the slugs appear to have a 'happy' ending as such!

Thanks for the link :)
