     I use the ever popular slug motels filled with beer and covered with
a piece of slate for limited protection.  I also am trying out wood ashes,
but it is too early to tell if that helps.  The real killer of slugs is to
go out each night with a flashlight and catch them in the act.  I put each
one in a can and salt them all at once when I'm done.  It may seem like a
lot of effort, but I get a great deal of satisfaction out of it after
seeing them defoliate half my garden.  After all, vengence is mine.
