Yesterday I was reading up on some of the most common garden pests and what to do about them.
In preparing rocks for my garden I encountered ants, spiders, termites, roaches *shudder*, snails, slugs, worms, larvae, and pill bugs galore. Now some of these pose no threat, others I'm delighted to encourage, but I know for a fact that snails and slugs in particular can wreak havoc on a garden. I found several forums discussing these critters and methods for discouraging or disposing of them.
My head was full with these ideas as just this morning I turned my attentions to my studies on nutrition, most recently focused on the ideas of eating for one's blood type, alkalizing the body, and cultivating a diet similar to that of what cavemen once ate. In these studies it was encouraged that people of my blood type incorporate escargot into their diet. Hmm. Escargot is the fancied-up name for snails. How similar are snails to slugs I wondered... and if there's such an abundance of them in my garden, perhaps there's another, obvious solution?
I did a little research and am sharing what I've found with you. Bon appetit!
