New kitchen garden lazy (Schiltigheim 67300)

[Did67]

Me too, last year, it calmed down pretty quickly, after a good half-dozen night hunts.

This year, I too have attacks of very many "oranges / chestnuts" ... Yesterday evening, for the first time, the collection was significantly less, it seems to me that we are reaching the end ... But that I must have been hunting for a fortnight, with a few evenings without doing it!

On the other hand, little damage, thanks to the tactic of baiting them with my wilted sow or my winter lettuce and beginning of decay. I really only lost a few plants, out of maybe a hundred, if I count celery, cabbage, beans, carrots - except for a row of batavia transplanted "bare root" ...

Last night I saw that after 2 or 3 days, the dairies are too dry (like in the hay!) And no longer have any attraction! The slugs were 80% on cucurbits! It is therefore necessary to renew the baits, every 2 days ...

Randomly meeting yesterday during a book signing, a "phenoculteur" informed me that he was stunned to see half a dozen slugs ignore his plants to pounce on a .. . cat poop! [I didn't ask what he fed his cat with!]

For my part, I noticed the same phenomenon with dog droppings. They were rushing on.
Maybe an avenue to be exploited, but the implementation may be "weird" ..
As I can hardly see myself picking up dog droppings to make slug bait and place them in my vegetable garden, I did not choose the method -> no digging and hay mulching still pass at the level of people, but if I come with my dog ​​poop, I'm good for a free little stay in a nursing home

You install a "can" to help people! And you will be a hero!

Hello,

I come to the news, for the moment still no attack in sight on my cucumbers and celery, I think that the hot weather and the pellets have done their job. I started transplanting other things this afternoon and even technical a small handful on each feet ... I hope that the storm and the rain do not bring back the slugs and snails in order to preserve the strategy and my plants ... I would transplant the rest a little each week until the end of June. Even if I would probably be late I think it will pay ... Now I'm going to make furrows to put the beans soon I hope that there will be no more shadow of a slug because otherwise yum yummy tiny plants ...

Thank you again for your listening and advice and sorry to have "doubts" well not to doubt my real seeing that this negative point despite all the other positives, but I was really annoyed that all our work to my partner and myself was reduced crumb by it's damn slugs and company ... I leave you a photo of our vegetable garden in "mode" lazy.

For yourself

A lady I know via a Facebook page (amateur vegetable patch) puts cat food to bait slugs everywhere other than her garden in order to preserve it ... So yes I think there is a food in it that makes that she likes it ...

For my part, my dog ​​also loves to eat cat poop, my vet told me that it is because cats do not digest all their food so there are "leftovers or odors" still persistent ... It can work to be for the slugs, to try ... I can't because otherwise my dog ​​will surely come before the slugs ...

Goods.

Do you think cat poop and litter can be cold surface "composted" on hay? I know that we can recycle them in the composter if we manage the rise in temperature of the compost to destroy pathogens, but what about aerobic decomposition?

You will note that the "individual" composters hardly ever rise sufficiently in temperature for there to be hygienization. It would take at least 65 °: it's hot (you can't leave your hand there) ... Have you ever seen this in an individual composter ???

Therefore, for me, it is kif kif ...

Personally, I will avoid, even if from memory, there are not many diseases common between the cat and the man ...

For all that is human excreta, I strongly recommend going through an intermediate step, and therefore a "break" in the cycle: cultivating green manures with it, recycling them in the productive vegetable garden. The nutrients will take the same path, but not the germs (today, as we are overaccinned, overtreated, surflytoxed, the risk is very limited, but in my younger years we all had worms - roundworm, tapeworm, etc. .. If we are not careful, it will come back, like measles, tuberculosis, etc ...). It also makes a break for all the other derivatives of our metabolism: derivatives of drugs, pills, etc ...

Hello,

I come to the news, for the moment still no attack in sight on my cucumbers and celery, I think that the big heats and the pellets do their job.

So Ferramol ????

[I have rarely seen it so effective! Good!

But this ties in with an idea already expressed: to treat with Ferramol when there are no vegetables in place; hungry, the slugs seem to be content with it; it is better to waste 10 days in a "crawl space" than to lose all these plants and have made the problem worse = even more slugs, well fed]
