i watered the plants last night, and today i found my
first slug damaged leaf on my state fair plant. i just
wanted to remind everyone with newly transplanted
sprouts to make sure to use sluggo or someother
slug and snail proection to avoid the little ones
from getting chewed on.

I asked here last year and there were some very good solutions. One that did not work was to put a plastic container of beer at ground level so the slugs can crawl in it. Well, I took the plastic container and all the beer that I could find in the house, but for some reason the beer never made it to the plastic container.

I have nailed over 50 snails alone not including slugs around my 950 seedling with sluggo stuff. A new record for me:) Jimmy

Circle with boric acid, circle with cedar dust chips.
Stale beer pools(hubcaps),in the middle of boric acid circles seems to wook well.

What is burr clover?
