Hi Kay,
I have a shade garden here in Maryland (zone 7). This summer has been
wetter and cooler than the norm...so here come the slugs! Since my garden is
large I can't bait with beer trays etc. I do preventative measures in the
early Spring with an Ortho product called "Bug Geta". Its a pelletized
bait/poison that is very effective. Throughout the season, if I notice slug
activity, I re-apply. I've learned to appreciate the beauty of a not so
perfect leaf, but I wasn't always this way. Its unfortunate but Hostas are
candy to slugs and voles.
On an other note, I would like to go on a collecting trip to the
Bahamas. Something not extravagant that could be enjoyed by a novice
collector. Is there a better time of year or certain island group that
someone could recommend? I'm looking for cones and have the pioneering
spirit.
Thanks, Matt
