What to do about slugs
We like beans. So do slugs… Since we do not intent to lose our beans to them, we make access to the beans as uncomfortable for the slugs as possible. How ? Well, we sprinkle crushed eggshells all around our plants. All winter we collected eggshell so now we have enough to protect our beans… If you too have a slug problem, you better start eating eggs and keeping the shells.
If you don’t have eggshells because you don’t eat eggs, or don’t eat enough eggs, really anything dry or sharp will work because slugs don’t like to crawl over anything dry or sharp. Dry grass clippings will work, and so will lime, just to give you two examples.
