Trying To Keep Up With The Garden Slugs

Over the past few years I have been growing zucchini and had to deal with slugs eating the flowers or blossoms before they started growing zucchinis. I tried a few of the home remedies but nothing seemed to stop them.

Then, just last year I tried Slug-B-Gon and that seemed to do the trick right away. We had a rather dry late spring and summer however this year, 2011, we have had rain. Way too much rain for me, although the garden, once we were able to get it planted, is loving it.

The problem this year is that anything I put out to get rid of pests is washed away in just a day or two.

I guess I will just have to keep re-applying Slug-B-Gon until it stops raining so much. The stuff I put out is moldy in just a couple of days. Just not enough time for anything to dry out before it rains again.

I tried the beer in a saucer but it just gets replaced with rain water in a few minutes.

Our home garden is an organic garden so I don’t want to resort to anything that’s not really green or organic.

Anyone know a more effective way to protect my zucchini from these little slugs, I just can’t seem to keep up.
