I would recommend that you also put out a few bowls of mike's hard lemonade or long island iced tea. If that doesn't work, you could try Ben's famous semi-organic slug killer. Just mix 3 teaspoons of fresh spring water, 1 crumbled leaf, 2 teaspoons of dirt, 1 pebble, and 50 gallons of high-toxicity slug killer in a bathtub and then spray it liberally on your garden.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04323766225376396519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244589317007797655.post-83367004389148445652010-06-19T21:59:15.302-04:002010-06-19T21:59:15.302-04:00Ben, I thought I was beginning to win because ther...Ben, I thought I was beginning to win because there have been fewer slugs dead in the natty ice bowls, but come to think of it, when I pick the bowls up to dump them out, I find that there are even more slugs under the bowl than in it. So they must be hiding from the Natty Ice.

Judy and I used the rock salt technique in Orient near the<br />back door where our cat feed. They also love cat food. Buy them a case and say, this is your food-- the plants are mine. Then, try singing all night.<br /><br />MyrnaMyrna Burkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18222550574332505043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244589317007797655.post-81614047019996717222010-06-18T17:09:02.608-04:002010-06-18T17:09:02.608-04:00Natty Ice: the official beer of garden slugs.

And college students.<br /><br />Are you getting fewer slugs a week in because the population is decreasing or because even slugs can't drink Natty Ice on a daily basis?Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04323766225376396519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244589317007797655.post-33442911319429616012010-06-18T15:51:33.367-04:002010-06-18T15:51:33.367-04:00This sounds like a more civilized way of preparing...This sounds like a more civilized way of preparing Beer Can Chicken.

Chickens habitually have panic at the ready, so I don't even know if they would take pleasure from a downer or not. They are so safe in their little house that they might as well relax with a cold one every once in a while. Maybe they will evolve to appreciate the refined and protected life we offer and take a load off with a cold one.Alannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13892795549883098871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244589317007797655.post-78110637702694477772010-06-18T12:19:19.000-04:002010-06-18T12:19:19.000-04:00Please tell me you end up with a flock of drunken ...Please tell me you end up with a flock of drunken chickens.Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05017903247717843076noreply@blogger.com
