More problems - slugs

 

I visited the plants tonight and one of my cucumber pots was crawling with
slugs.  I removed about a dozen by hand.  How effective are the natural
remedies.  I searched the Net and see that a bowl of cheap beer attracts the
slugs who apparently are alcoholics.  Once sated with the beer they forget
to exit the bowl and die.  Happily.  Would a bowl of chips increase the
effectiveness?

Anyone have any favorite methods?  I'd even consider a chemical solution if
it were not especially toxic.

Can I expect slugs to be less of an issue when the summer heat arrives?  Do
they burrow into the soil in the pots?

 


Fry the little critters in butter and eat them for a snack while you
drink cheap beer.  They are very tasty especially after the third six
pack!

 



And you could stick your face in it to pluck them out, like bobbing for
apples.

OK, so this means you have nothing of any use to say?
