Luckily, no slugs on our strawberry patch, which is going bonkers. We've got bird netting over the area this year, so hopefully they won't all disapear the day they get ripe. A few are ready to eat!
This blog is about a suburban couple trying to live a more sustainable life. It started with a few pots of tomatoes in the front yard and has grown to 5 chickens, a huge vegetable garden, berry patches, a fruit orchard, canning, beer brewing, and more!

Strawberries and Slugs
We had some slugs going after our lettuce (the iceberg and romaine) in the vegetable beds, and in the flower beds, the hostas. Little holes in the leaves. So I set up beer traps, basically the bottom half of a soda can burried in the ground, with some beer in it. They come out at night, and so the next day, filled with dead slugs. What a way to go out, drowned in beer.
