So you've spent money, time and sweat getting your garden beautifulŠso
the last thing you want is to get slimmed by slugs! Slugs can destroy
all your hard work and gorgeous flowers! Pesticides have been
officially banned here in Ontario. Good news there are effective
alternatives that are environmentally friendly! Pennies! The copper
serves as a great barrier for slugs, giving them a small shock when
they try to cross it. By using old pennies to create rings of copper
surrounding your plants, you can have a natural, non-toxic, slug-free
garden and get rid of your loose change. Since slugs are most active
in damp nighttime conditions, watering in the AM instead of the PM can
reduce slug damage by 80%. They also don't like coarse surfaces.
Surround your plants with rocks, gravel, egg shells and other rough
materials.
