How long are they?<br /><br />I've heard of the metal strips you're talking about- I think they're copper- but I've never tried them. Let us know how they work.<br /><br />What are you growing in your barrels? (FYI readers... Kristin lives in the city).Michelle Cusolitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02637858838936799501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5692294251470906684.post-39816999156454877342010-06-22T15:45:31.564-07:002010-06-22T15:45:31.564-07:00The slugs here are gigantic, I didn't even kno...The slugs here are gigantic, I didn't even know slugs could be that big, they freak me out. We bought this strip of metalic stuff that we put around our barrels, apparently it causes some sort of electrical current through slugs if they try to pass over it. I hate the beer thing too, but if this doesn't work we'll have to go with the beer.Kristin Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07882575798468938200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5692294251470906684.post-47207307089927216592010-06-06T05:51:07.230-07:002010-06-06T05:51:07.230-07:00Monique, That sounds like a big job.
So far, our...Monique, That sounds like a big job. <br /><br />So far, our main pest has been slugs in the lettuce. I generally don't worry about them too much, but yesterday I found 12 in one head of lettuce. So, I went to my last resort remedy... beer. I set some small containers (like a margarine or cream cheese size) into the soil and poured an inch or more of beer in. The slugs will be drawn into the containers and they'll drown (which is why I avoid doing this unless I have to).Michelle Cusolitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02637858838936799501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5692294251470906684.post-65181958344515724412010-06-05T09:08:37.564-07:002010-06-05T09:08:37.564-07:00amazing dragonfly photo's michelle!
we're...amazing dragonfly photo's michelle!<br /><br />we're in the process of gopher proofing our garden this weekend. we have to dig out the soil down to the root level of our deepest root veggies then put a chicken wire cage in. we then will refill the cage with soil. hopefully this will last for a couple of years. then, i'll get to plant mainly cooler variety veggies as the fog has just rolled in to the outer richmond of san francisco! no basil or squashes will grow here!moniquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02848577830470232715noreply@blogger.com
