wow.ok now i'm making vegetable garden too
Copper doesn't work, at least not with the slugs here in Japan. They just crawl over it, as I confirmed by enclosing a few slugs in a space bounded by copper tape.
When I had a garden in the past I noticed that they loved lettuce but weren't fond of lamb's lettuce. Isn't that interesting? They also don't like dandelion.
Will both toads and frogs eat slugs equally or is one much better then the other ??
Is there any damage to be aware of that the frogs or toads will do to any parts of the garden ??
Can I keep the toads and frogs roaming in the greenhouse ??
I use copper tape on toilet paper tubes and make collars out of them snd they work great for me and also keep out cut worms as well . Beer traps work well . I also use Sluggo on occasion. It’s organic certified and works well .
