slugs

[lycomania]

We used to have slug issues in our perennial gardens, with some hostas being totally eaten. We started using the iron (sulfate?) type of slug bait early in the season and that completely ended our slug problem.

Another thing to be wary of: One year or two we used mulch that came in larger pieces than normal. We found these pieces to be a perfect slug habitat, so we only use finer mulches now, and everything is great.
