Im having a slug problem . The area I use is tall grass with patches of pointy pokey plants and flower like plants. So I planted in the end of may alil after the 20th outdoors i had alil over a quarter of a bag of fox farms I dug a hole and dumped the soil in planted the plant and left. Came back a couple weeks later and the thing looked the same size as when i planted had a couple holes on the bottom leaves I saw a couple slugs around I dident think much of it at the same time I noticed the plant top was pointing to the right I also noticed the stem down by the roots appeared chewed in half in a spot and the soil dident fill the hole i digged up so the plant was alil low I came back added some soil and used some seven on it saw snails and some slugs around it. Came back a couple weeks later and it was standing straight up looked taller had some new yellowish green growth at the top yet more holey at the bottom leaves and slugs on some branches I was like hum I mentioned it to a friend and was like wtf idk what to do this time think I got a slug problem was gonna get some slug bait mentioned sand or kitty litter and the guy said sand has salt no good and litter no good slug bait poison no good just use beer. So ive been doing the beer traps I cut a couple soda cans in half and pickup a 24 natty daddy real cheap strong shit for a buck a can drink a quarter of the can pour the rest into the soda can traps I been doing this for this last month and they are filled up everytime but smell really bad the dead rotten slugs. I pretty much just toss them into the field bushes. The thing appears to have new growth and appears to be getting taller but there are still plenty of slugs all around infact I pulled some off today
