Tip 1: Slugs
We learned alot this year and dealt with some problems we had never encountered before, like
having to find an organic way to deal with the huge amount of slugs that took up residence in all the straw we used to keep
the weeds down and chomped down on our tomatoes & peppers. Their favorites were the jalepeno peppers!! So the hot pepper
spray we used for other bug attacks, didn't work on them. Tom tried partying with them, giving them little beer swimming pools,
which definitely got some of them, but then he started having 1 a.m. slug hunts, removing them by hand. Finally, we found
an organic slug bait that worked on the vast numbers, but only after they had destroyed some of our best and biggest tomatoes!
