[Organic_Gardening] Orange Peel Surprise and Slugs
Hello Group:
I am slowly converting my landscape to incorporate more edible foods. As such, I have put a bed next to an existing lawn that has various vegetable seedlings emerging.
I have put out egg shells and coffee grounds for nourishment and pest control. Most recently, I put out chopped orange peel in an attempt to deter the cats from sitting in the bed. Interestingly, the slugs absolutely love the orange peel. It has made it easy to pick them right out of the bed!
The orange peel seems to work better than beer traps; of which I have had mixed success in the past.(evidently invertebrates have a very fine taste for brew and expect only the best).
Do any of you have other tried and true methods for slug control that you prefer to use?
Happy Gardening!
