Oh Yeah, you guys have 'dillos too in the SW. Didn't even dawn on me. Deer, rabbits and slugs are the culprits here in AtlCanArmadillos don't really get after the plants (thankfully) but they tear up the soil pretty good searching for bugs.
Pretty funny.... one of the best baits for trapping armadillo is mini-marshmallows. Had to trap a few and the damn marshmallows worked every time.
I thought that diatoms killed by wearing away the insects' exoskeleton at the joints. How would it affect slugs?So the battle of the slugs is not just mine
I’ve tried everything to keep those bastards away! Has anyone tried diatomaceous earth? I’ve heard it works well for pests including slugs!
I’m currently making raised beds for my garden this year because I can’t win against the slugs...we wait and watch
@ShipwrecKed thanks for joining! That OGK looks delish! Any pal of Smeegs is a pal of mine
We are half way through winter now, but it's been a really mild winter luckily days are nice mid 20's most days and the coldest we've had is 8c at night but no frost yet either. Mostly dry climate all the way through with the odd shower of rain....
family......
so I'll be doing less updates about the farm on my journal
Maybe I should plant an outdoor version of The Hulk like I have in my growroom. Talk about big and bad.
Looks like I’m signing up for another journal! Lol why don’t you have it in your signature?
Glad you got your bro on here, he’s already uploading pics so he’s smart too!howdy howdy everyone, like that's how you get left behind with this journal, pg6 already.....lol

and Smeegs little plot twist is @ShipwrecKed is my brother that lives on the farm......lol hasn't started a journal yet, I just got him started on his mobile phone earlier this afternoon as he also wants in on my new
A lot of nematodes are parasitic, which is why I a little wary of them. I'd do a search on that first.
The last Sig I had got deleted and I haven't bothered with a replacement.
My wife is a licensed pest control applicator. I'll ask her opinion. She deals with a bunch of lake homes that actually have soil moist enough for slimy critters.
That would be awesome! They are not sliming around yet but I’m sure their eggs will be hatching from everywhere soon
I saw slug trails inside the greenhouse yesterday. They only seemed to go after one plant, and to my surprise, it was the hot pepper plant. The munched it up a bit, but didn’t touch the newly forming flower/fruit sites near the stems. Didn’t even bat an eye at the pot plants....hold on, do slugs have eyes? They do in drawings I think. Must be time to have another rip and go slug hunting for the answer. Google is just too easy, lol.
What he said ^
.No salt please. Salt is what conquering armies use to destroy the soil of their enemies to kill their crops and starve them.
Just remembering my Invertebrate Zoology.
If Google is too easy, get yourself a magnifier.
