Slug problems

Post by ChrisT03 » May 26th, 2020, 8:43 pm

I’ve recently noticed holes in my hosta leaves and realized that there were little slugs feasting on them. Any suggestions for getting rid of them? I killed whatever I was able to see with some table salt and realized (after the fact) that the salt probably will eventually kill the hostas as well. Thanks!

Spray one part Household Ammonia plus three parts water just before dusk, weekly. It works well on my hosta, and most other plants. The plants love the Nitrogen too.
