Egg Shells

Originally uploaded by maxed

An excellent way to control slugs is by using crushed eggshells. Dry them in a paper bag, then crush them up and sprinkle them around the plants you want to protect. Slugs won’t crawl on the sharp shells, and when the shells decompose they’ll add calcium to the soil.
