So does anyone have any great homemade solutions or traps for slugs? My 2 hostas are just starting to come up and usually get ravaged by mid summer.
I agree,beer traps are by far the easiest way to rid your garden of slugs. I've used a small ice-cream container with holes in the side similar to the coffee can method.The lid helps against it filling up with rain.Next time you have a party,collect those half finished beers and keep it in a soda bottle in the fridge until you can use it or if you brew beers or wine you will have plenty of that yeasty sludge that attracts the little blighters.So does anyone have any great homemade solutions or traps for slugs?

Crushed egg shells should do the trick . You also could try sprinkling some salt or ashes around .So does anyone have any great homemade solutions or traps for slugs? My 2 hostas are just starting to come up and usually get ravaged by mid summer.
