Slugs love beer, and will crawl all over each other in order to drown in it. Note: In my experience, they prefer stronger smelling imported beer over an el-cheapo Bud. If you know someone who makes home-brew, and has a batch that didn't turn out right, that'll probably work too. (And seem less like a waste.)<BR/><BR/>Note: The reason I suggest using a disposable container is that, once you have dealt sufficiently many death-blows, the container will be *nasty*, and you will want to place said nasty thing in the trash (preferably without touching it), rather than reuse it. (Before you decide you've killed enough slugs, use a stick to simply tip out the dead ones to compost right there, then add more beer. You only need to replenish the beer if the container is completely full of dead slugs, or rain has diluted the beer too much.)noricumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05904523391639958451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-76267721345255224832009-04-09T18:34:00.000-07:002009-04-09T18:34:00.000-07:00I have actual herbs in my kitchen window sill.

And four tomato plants there too, cause, well, if I move any of them I will forget they exist and not water them and then they won't exist.<BR/>I bought some seeds from work and a little baby hothouse to start them in. I can't find a place for my hothouse. Even though it is a cute little one, there is no room on my kitchen window sill so I won't forget those too. We'll just have to wait til Sunday when I am off an extra day from work and see if I can actually figure this out for myself.<BR/>Way to go in the garden! YAY for growing season again!
