Slugs!

They are like snails, a real delicacy.  Saute them in oil but don't overcook and they are delicious.

sprinkle crushed shells on the surface of the soil, its cheap and the slugs dont like the sharp edges. Also you can buy slug pellets

Hi,

never use salt on the soil in your garden... salt to kill a slug is used when the slug is out on the sidewalk and it 's just sprinkled on the slug!... salt in your garden soil will kill your plants and make the soil un-use-able for a couple years!!... that' what the conquering armies used to do to the farmland of the people they had just had a war with.... ruin their soil so they'd have to buy from the conquering nation or starve!....

to kill the little beggars, use a slug bait that contains IRON PHOSPHATE.... nothing else... all others are toxic... the iron phosphate is safe for pets, kids and wildlife...it turns to fertilizer if the slugs don't get it all.... the slugs eat it, get a really BAD tummyache and crawl away to hide and die!.... it really works!!....

The beer answer is about the best. pellets rarely work, and the D earth is expensive and has to be reapplied quite often. Salt can damage plants, so I would not use that. the best way to utilize the beer is to use a Frisbee or a pie dish and set it into the soil so the top lip is equal to the the level of the ground pour your beer in to it, and the beer attracts the slugs like a magnet. You will have to change the beer weekly possibly more then that if you live in a warm climate area, as it will turn bad, especially after you have a few drunken slugs drown in it. One thing that I have learned is that believe it or not, slugs do not like light beer as much as they do the darker ales. So you may wanna keep that in mind as well when placing your plates out.
