You have the most amazing energy. You made a video I never thought I would enjoy watching, but you taught me something and you did it with such an infectious energy that you made this an enjoyable way to pass my time on YT. Cheers!
I've used a yeast mix too which works, but the most slugs always come into a strong Belgian trappiste beer! They prefer that by far, but it's much more expensive so only use it when ones sadly gone out of date!
I'm afraid that I've never had the pleasure of trying that one, but I'll have to keep an eye out for it. Sadly no beer around me would have a chance to go out of date 🍻🇦🇺😂
Thanks! It was worth it to get a reliable result, I'll be using yeast mix from now on. Since I did the test I haven't had a single slug eating my crops! 🤣
For a free source of beer I used to ask my local pub to let me have the contents of the drip trays at the end of the night - you wouldn't inflict it on humans, but the slugs never seemed to mind that it was a weird mix of different flat stale beers. I also find that low-strength supermarket own brand bitter works well, and costs much less (about £1.50 for 4 x 400ml cans) than the premium lagers in the test.
I always thought that was how they worked, too, but one of the three zero alcohol beers caught plenty of slugs, and the yeast mix was best of all, so that just proves that it's the yeasty smell, not the alcohol that does the trick 🍻👍

Thank you, that is such a lovely comment! You are so kind 🥰
Great video! They're always so informative, I've learnt so much and I've been gardening for years.
Thank you! That is really kind of you to say! 😁
Brilliant video Amy. I am away to make my yeast slug traps!
Go for it! You won't be disappointed 🐌

That was amazing ! Thanks for all the effort you put into that.

Its the yeast that attracts them. i used beer traps, but now i use the flour,sugar,yeast, and water with the same results as the beer traps
Fantastic! Great to know you had the same result as me 👍❤️

That is a fantastic tip! I nevertheless thought of using pub slops! I'll have to mention that in a follow up. You're a genius 🥰
Or maybe the Slugs get drunk and can't make it back out of the traps

Project farm thats actually a farm haha.
😁
The Slugs must like the smell of alcohol
The yeasty mix would have had virtually no alcohol and it was the best, so I think it's the fermenting smell, not the alcohol that does the trick 😁
