The cane toads are very poisonous. They have been introduced to eat the cane beetle. Big mistake they ate and eat everything else.<br />They are a hazard to wildlife and domestic pets.<br />I used to place halves of squizzed Oranges or Grapefruits upside down into the garden beds and the snails crept underneath and I could collect them! I had to look up Chayamansa; now I know! I wished I knew more, I never know enough!<br />Thank you for your visit I appreciate it.T.Lavender and Vanilla Friends of the Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05403418150146893599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2693157643476407910.post-9563368868641953752010-09-19T08:04:54.024-07:002010-09-19T08:04:54.024-07:00No problem. :) I'd help you dispose of slugs i...No problem. :) I'd help you dispose of slugs if I could. I have gotten very good at it this year. The tokyo cross turnips were their favorite if you ever get frustrated enough to consider a trap crop. Each poor little turnip would be covered in dozens of slugs, but dusting a circle of diatomaceous earth around them kept the slugs away. (very sharp to them, and cuts them as well as dries them. They will slither around it to try to get past and avoid contact with it.)<br /><br />Good luck. I always look forward to your posts. You are blunt, logical and inspirational.. all traits I appreciate. <br /><br />Oh.. you can watch some of those shows on youtube, but quality is not so good for several episodes. Two Fat Ladies series can be rented (netflix and blockbuster have it). Blockbuster also has the Rosemary & Thyme series.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17159095601570766616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2693157643476407910.post-7023829461447642802010-09-18T14:55:19.293-07:002010-09-18T14:55:19.293-07:00Anne:

I was fighting off a slug population explosion this year.. I was ready to see if I could rent some ducks (they go nuts for slugs.. and snails).Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17159095601570766616noreply@blogger.com
