- I was turning over some soil in my garden this morning and ANTS! EVERYWHERE! I don't want a nest in my veggies, I'm not going to use chemicals around my food, so I don't know what to do to get rid of them. Any ideas?

Comment by Heather WOod on April 1, 2009 at 12:11pm - I just read that slugs dont like copper or they won't cross copper!

I have slugs to deal with too... LOTS of them. I use Sluggo, but it never feels like they really go away because of it.
Has anyone ever dealt with cutworms? They devastated my garden two years ago, and that's the one I'm gonna try and do my real strong tomato patch in. I'm thinking of solarizing it with black plastic. Any ideas, people?

Comment by Pema on March 17, 2009 at 6:21pm - Thanks for the invite Joy. I mostly have slugs, white fly and aphids to deal with. I had been saving crushed egg shells to give calcium to my plants so now I'll do an slug prevention test and put it on top of the soil. As for the beer--my only results was 'drunken slugs' slithering away.

Then go back and highlight the link text.
Then hit the hyperlink button...a pictogram of a chain link.
Your browser may intervene and request permission to allow temporary scripting or some similar message. Allow it and go back and highlight the text again
