      I know, it makes me sad too. I pick them and quickly smash them with a rock so that at least it’s over quickly, but it’s no fun 😝

    Hello My Family Garden .We live on Vancouver Island Home to the worlds largest collection of slugs .Nematodes are awesome .Balanced land using Bio Char and wood ash works awesome . leaving a large flat board in the garden will attract the slug to the cool wet area under the large flat board .Lift up board and dispose of slugs by turning the muscovie ducks and chickens loose . If no duck or chicken then pick them up or spread a little wood ash on them . Slug slime is a powerful anti cancer .Much love and respect . Howie

    “It’s kind of gruesome, I know” 😂 I’ve been attempting to keep on top of the slugs with my sand moat around the garden and also by trapping them with pea leaves on the ground, which they love, then smashing them. If things get bad I might try nematodes, so thanks for this great instructional video.

    Are you still using nemasys slug control after 3 years and how have you found it? I was wondering if slugs were wiped out the next year as well due to them (slugs)not being able to lay eggs.

    Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi wabarakatu how are you brother hope you’re ok. Just wanted to ask a few questions
    1) what happens to the adult nematodes?
    2) do they reproduce and start the cycle again or do I need to buy more regularly?
    3) how effective has it been for you?
    4) is it for slugs and snails?
    5) have you done an update video on this if so which one?
    Jazakallah brother I have found your videos extremely useful
