Are you having trouble deciding what to do to kill the slugs on your okra, bell pepper plants, and flowers. I was having a huge problem and tried a few things. Well, here is the best, quickest, cheapest solution:
When you peel your cantaloupe or melon, just save the rind and place upside down in your garden and flower bed. It is sweet and moist and the slugs gather there. You can take a night light out (this is when they crawl around) with a few paper towels. Flip the melon rinds over and start picking. Pinch with the paper and flush or put into the garbage. This is safe for kids and pets. You can use the old rinds to compost with.
I just collected about 20 tonight from a tiny garden. I was so pleased with the result. You also can keep leaves at the bottom of plant clipped off and put crushed eggshells at the base of the plant, it helps the plant also.
