I don't know how many of you have a slug problem. Some years they seem to keep popping up all through the growing season. Here is a tip to stop them from munching the Hosta foliage. Put some diatomaceous earth in a shacker can ( like you use for sprinkling sugar on cookies) and lightly dust the soil around your new Hosta sprouts. This is a cure from slug damage because they won't crawl over anything that will cut their bodies. Diatomaceous earth is the cure and yes it is the same stuff you use for pools or feed to horses to cure them of worm. You can buy it at most farm supply stores or your pool center. Best part it will do no harm to wildlife life.
