Gardeners face a common challenge and that is how to nurture freshly emerging seedlings to the point where they are strong enough to protect themselves. Seedlings are easy pickings for a variety of creatures, from the tiniest to the largest, since they are sensitive and delicious, and they are low to the ground. Slugs and snails are some creatures that may wreak havoc on your seedlings.
These gastropods need to be protected from the sun throughout the day. Snails may retreat within their shell’s controlled climate, whereas slugs must seek deep shade or complete shade. This is their main weakness, as well as the foundation of the most effective control techniques. After they've crawled into their daily hiding places, water first thing in the morning. Evening watering provides an ideal setting for both slugs and snails, as well as an invitation to come and feast. Watering in the morning allows the garden to be reasonably dry by nightfall, which is especially beneficial in the summertime.
Get rid of any potential hiding areas in your garden that aren't really essential, such as unused pots, bricks, boards, plastic mulch, and anything else they may hide beneath, especially where moisture might collect.
Slugs may be caught by setting out little tubs of beer, which they will drown in as they are drawn to the smell of yeast. Even easier than that is to leave one apparent hiding location out overnight, encourage them to congregate there, and then walk them off the premises the following morning. For this type of trap, plywood works brilliantly. Simply place a piece between your beds and collect the slugs after.
