Re: Pest in Veg Garden

  • You should really figure out what is eating your plants first and address that specific bug; I got useful advice from our local master gardener's group.

  • dude, LET THE FROG STAY.  Maybe gross to you, but homeboy is going to eat bugs.

    If you're seeing slime, especially on the leaves that have been eaten, it's likely slugs/snails.  Go outside at night (when they feed) to verify.  You can use Sluggo/EscarGo, beer traps, hand picking, etc. for slug.

    PP is right: Identify pest and THEN decide on the solution.  If you can post photos of the leaf damage and/or slime, that would be helpful.  Or consult local nursery/master gardener group.
