Q+A: Slugs

M.J. ASKED:

I have something eating at a number of my new plants... peas, some bottom tomato leaves, mixed greens etc. It might be slugs on the pea plants as I can see possible slime on at least some of them.



Response:

If there's slime, good chance there are slugs.

If there are any hiding places nearby (pieces of wood, rocks,) look underneath them during the day and you might well find the culprits.
