Hi Lisa, I'm glad to hear that your son's wedding went well. I've got an upper-respiratory virus going on right now so let's wait a few days (I'm trying...
Hi, Most of the time, my husband grows beautiful heads of romaine lettuce in the field and in an unheated greenhouse. Right now, though it is all under attack...
... Eat it. The trick is to grow the lettuce in raised beds inaccessible to the ducks. The slugs go down for the day and come out at night to dine. Keep things...
Google slugs copper. Use copper as a barrier. Works for snails as well. Supposed to stop them dead in their tracks. Might look at bare copper grounding wire. ...
DE and/or ducks. Lay boards around so the slugs will congregate under them, then carry them to the duck pen. If you don't have time to raise some ducks to...
Thanks to all of your for your suggestions. I especially like the idea of putting down boards to "catch" slugs for ducks. I've kind of been looking for an...
Do you own a board? Take a wide board like a 1x8 and put it on the ground. The slugs will attach themselves to the bottom of the board at night. In the...
<<< Also, do all breeds of ducks love slugs or are some more "slug oriented" than others?>>> Mine are Cayuga (beautiful black egg laying breed) and Call ducks ...
<<< Well I read that diotomatious earth works to keep slugs from doing their damage . :)Sharon>>> Theoretically it does......if it stays dry. If you get dew...
Interesting technique I lifted from another forum Frank.......... Each of the participants in the conversation had a strategy for dealing with the damned...
Well Walter, Do you have a humane way to get rid of gophers? Do you think DE is inhumane? How about blasting rabbits and squirrels outta the garden? I think...
... More humane than your method would be to get predators, such as livestock guardian dogs. They kill the gophers quickly rather than inhumanely doing it as...

We started getting goghers here a few years back and don't want them here mostly because we have horses and don't want them to break a leg in one of the holes....

Watch what you buy! I bought some black oil seeds from the local farmer's store. to plant...and they had bugs in them that made the seeds useless. Lisa ... ...
