wtf will slugs to to a seedling

j/w what will they do ? should i be worried about my lil seedling

Yes slugs can be a problem.

How do I deter slugs and snails without using chemicals?

Copper strips that extend an inch or more below and above the soil line will keep out slugs and snails. The copper band generates an electrical charge that is large enough to deter slugs.

Make sure you inspect perimeters daily, remove any leaves or branches over the copper band as snails and slugs will use this material for a bridge to cross the copper.

Please note copper bands have sharp edges, you can prevent accidents to children or pets by simply folding the visible edge with a pair of pliers.


If you have problems obtaining copper strips then try this method contributed by: Sterling

Take a few inches of copper wire out of an electrical flex. Twist this around your finger so it forms a coil of 2/3 turns.

Pull it apart slightly so the threads are overlapped and tangled to form a more complete barrier.

Place this around the bottom of the main stem leaving plenty of space for growth.

this would probably work on other bugs too huh. except flying ones of course

Depends what kind of bugs you are talking about?

snails maybe but i think the copper works mostly for slugs, i made these rings today with thick copper wire, hope they do the trick.

Also beer will attract and kill the slimy, leaf eating hors-de-ovres.

Just pour some beer in a saucer and place by the plants. They will flock to it, drink some, and die.

No Shit.

i thought they died because you bury the cup with beer and they fall in and drown?

I was told they get drunk and fall in and drown.
