 That must of been alful!!! Putting a thin line of salt around the beds makes 
it so when the slug go over it it will burn them (suck out all their mosture) 
and they wont do that.... I'm lucky where I prefer to live there are no 
slugs... to cold of a climent..... But you'll be amazed at what I could do in 
a green house up there!
