Here is the question of the week from Emily's Mailbox:
Q: Slugs are everywhere. How do get rid of them?
A: Slugs really do damage plants, especially the leaves. Hand pick the larger ones loose in the evening. The beer bait works. Many commercial products will do the trick (for instance dicamateous soil). You may have to switch bait to keep them from getting immune.
