In an effort to save my newly growing bush beans from whatever may be eating the leaves (my guess are those awful slugs for I do not think the birds can get through the cage I've put around these new plants) I have doubled security.
Slugs can't climb can they? I'm hoping they cannot for I have built somewhat of a wall between those beautiful leaves and the outside world by cutting a plastic cup in half and enclosing those new stalks and leaves. I cross my fingers and hope this works! But this is only the first security I've put up around them.
The second security I've put down is a glass bottle filled with a bit of water, as slugs are attracted to moist and wetness I'm hoping to trap the slugs in this bottle, if indeed it is slugs that are helping themselves to my bush bean leaves. I've read this trick in a book but have never tried it, I sure do hope I trap some slugs! At least then I will know what it is that are taunting my poor babies.
So hopefully I'll be posting some bottled slugs next!
