Slug control
General United Kingdom
We got a major slug infestation in the vegetables last year and as we are starting to plan our planting for spring I figured I would get some advise about whether there is anything I can do to prepare my beds to keep them away this year. Is there anything I can do before planting that will discourage them from taking up residence?

a good slug trap is a quart, wide mouth mason jar full of beer.
fill jar to about 1/2 " from the top. dig a hole and bury jar almost to the top. leave approximately 1/4 " above soil. slugs will come get drunk and slip into beer and thats the end of them. do not over fill or they will just get drunk and crawl away.
