Let's see those '09 gardens

[Mark C]

Finally caught a pic of the little suckers that are eating my zuc's!

Innocent looking little guy:


Caught in the act!


That second pic is the inside of the half-eaten zucchini you can see in the first pic. This one is unusual in that he hollowed out the center. Most of the others I've seen disappear were eaten radially from the outside in.

Anyone ever have this problem before? Know how I can stop it?

Never had to battle them, but have always heard about using beer as a weapon.

Good luck!!

Beer in a frisbee will make them all gone in a week.
A few frisbees carefully deployed is all you need. Slugs stay under rocks and stuff here. They very seldom make a problem in the garden.
It always amazes me the differences a little change in latitude makes.

My Dad used to pour some cheap beer in a tin and put it out in the garden. For some reason the slugs were attracted to it. They'd die a slow and happy death.
