The ammonia doesn't harm the plants, and infact adds nitrogen. But...what proportions does one use? I tried a vinegar water (50% 50%) mixture. It seems to kill the slugs, but not very fast. We went on our first slug hunt last nite, and found 6. I found 1 this morning. My boyfriend and I are having a contest to see who can spot the most. Whoever spots the most wins a surprise from the other person at the end of the season.
