Planted 8 new hostas this July under a blue spruce. We created the bed two years ago and put about a foot of compost under the tree in hopes it would be a nice little bed. Well as you can see from the photos, something is eating away at my hostas...especially the miniatures. I've lost two complete plants already and two aren't far behind. I placed beer in small dishes hoping to catch slugs but none yet. Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
