Message: [QUOTE="Steve Denning, post: 14242, member: 650"] A really effective way to manage slugs is to use orange halves. After you have squeezed out the juice, put the halves in the garden around the plants you are worried about and check back after dark. The slugs and snails love the oranges more than the plants and flock to them making them really easy to move somewhere else. Beer, wine or sugar water mixed with a little flour and placed at ground level will also attract slugs away from your plants. Spraying the plants in a coffee solution will also work. I have heard that crushed egg shells, sawdust or wood shavings placed around a plant works as well, although I haven't tried that. [/QUOTE]
