I too am in the Pacific Northwest, and slugs are just part of gardening for me. I go on slug patrol, in the evening often. It took some getting use to years ago, when I started, but now I see it as a productive garden chore. I also use deadline. For us, there will always be taxes and slugs where we live Bonehead, so I appreciate your slug necklace. I do love your idea, especially for those precious young plants, like Bleeding heart, and fuschia. I may steal your idea and glue a few lines of pennies around some planters.
