I tried plopping a bunch into (cheap) beer and they just sort of dissolved, so maybe that's more palatable than the squish method.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07938196559124125578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316581347076542906.post-90110264132022433922010-05-27T06:39:37.695-07:002010-05-27T06:39:37.695-07:00I've considered ducks for about one nanosecond...I've considered ducks for about one nanosecond. My scrub jays are way more interested in the bees than in eating slugs, and I don't blame 'em. <br /><br />I just *hate* hand picking slugs. At least snail have handles.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03932975112078606231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316581347076542906.post-80039805293017606072010-05-26T21:57:31.192-07:002010-05-26T21:57:31.192-07:00Cool!

Birds, snakes, lizards, gophers I'm guessing? Worth a future blog post!<br />As for blotanical... sigh. It's a great resource, but the interface of that site drives me totally nuts sometimes. I'll check it out- thanks for letting me know!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07938196559124125578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316581347076542906.post-38221893274989656152010-05-26T21:46:37.830-07:002010-05-26T21:46:37.830-07:00Hey, by the way, I can't seem to get you to ap...Hey, by the way, I can't seem to get you to appear on my list of favorite blogs on Blotanical.

We've got scads of 'em, which is good, considering our aphid situation.<br /><br />Now, what eats slugs?Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03932975112078606231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316581347076542906.post-7043576217450880162010-05-24T14:40:08.502-07:002010-05-24T14:40:08.502-07:00I've seen a number of those beetles here, nice...I've seen a number of those beetles here, nice to know who they are! I have to be careful even on the slug front here, as we do have a native species that's quite prolific, although thankfully, they do seem to stay out of the vegetable patch!Curbstone Valley Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714297348566721344noreply@blogger.com
