TildalWave (~👋)<p>I'm on the lookout for innovative, ingenious and preferably humane ideas for managing a <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/slug" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>slug</span></a> infestation on the garden in wet weather. I.e. diatomaceous earth, beer traps,... and similar contraptions that only work in dry weather are out of the question. As are all the myriad of myths that don't work at all not even in dry weather, such as eggshells, cornmeal, sawdust, ash,... Obsessively cleaning the garden's periphery and regularly displacing slugs found on produce is also unmanageable in this weather and due to not actually owning the land adjacent to the garden I wouldn't have anywhere to move them without dumping the problem on someone else.</p><p>So far, the most promising method I've found is "slug water", i.e. collecting and purposely drowning a lot of slugs in water to let parasitic <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/nematodes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nematodes</span></a> that some of the slugs would be infected with multiply in the slurry, then watering the plants and surrounding soil with diluted mixture of it. But, that's hardly humane and kinda gross. And buying these nematodes is likely equally inhumane (i.e. it's just paying someone else to do the dirty work) as well as prohibitively expensive considering this has to be done frequently over a fairly large surface area.</p><p>Another thing I'm already doing is planting barrier crops that slugs tend to avoid on the garden margins, but it's not massively effective. It works to a degree, but slugs will always find a way onto your garden be it around those barrier crops or just over them when they're wet.</p><p>So, in short, if you've ideas or maybe methods that worked for you and would like to share, please reply!</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gardening</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Sustainability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sustainability</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/SelfSufficiency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfSufficiency</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Ecology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ecology</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Gastropods" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gastropods</span></a></p>
