Dealing with pests organically

Snails and slugs are a bitch to control in our expansive gardens and we have learned to control these harmful mollusk pests with some help from our lunch tour guests. Strategic bordering and wise choice of crop rotation can minimize damage. In high impact border areas charcoal, sand, and salt have been used to establish physical barriers. Trapping and killing in shallow beer dished has recently yielded good results in problem areas, and so has night picking.
