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. Jeff Hale BTL - MH
