    I enjoyed this lens so much that I chose to feature it on my most recent lens about snails and slugs :)

    EWEEEE! Slug Smoothie...what a laugh! I have actually been using this method for years in my garden! I don't drink beer so I buy cheap beer and add about a tablespoon sugar...they absolutely LOVE it! Great lens!

    I've been gardening the same area for 22 years and never had a slug. They just started a few weeks ago. We had a lot of rain this summer. Does anyone know where they came from all of a sudden. Were they just somewhere by water and moved in to eat my lettuce after my garden got moist?

    Wow, that's simple enough. But, I'll definitely be skipping the part about throwing them in the blender...

    Letting them drown happy & drunk is, I think, much kinder than pouring salt on them, which is what I was taught to do as a child. Once we got geese to eat slugs, but goose poo is actually worse than slugs, so that didn't last long. Our slugs on the pacific northwest are called "banana slugs" because that's exactly what they look like. There's even a slug festival with slug races, and I'm told that the banana slug is actually edible, much like snails, but I can't imagine eating either one.

    A child I knew had his first garden at the age of 4, and he was delighted to show me the lovely little picket fence he & his father had surrounded it with. Seriously he looked up at me and said, "The fence doesn't work. The snails and slugs crawled right under it."

    I enjoyed this lens.

    Hey, I've been doing this for years and it really does work...although my husband can't seem to see the good in wasting beer on slimy little creatures. I wouldn't give them the good stuff though, cheap beer for my slugs!

    Great lens never read that report so I guess when spring comes back around I need to get a case of bud and I hope all my slugs are of age. 5 stars

    Wow, who knew? We have plenty of slugs, but I like my beer and hate sharing...think I'll give them the dregs at the bottom of the bottle.
