Thanks a lot for your notes.
On picking:
I really haven't had any success after all the efforts of picking them off by hand, there are just too many and the garden is too big. I read somewhere recently that only 5% of your slug population is above ground at any given time.
On toads/frogs:
Do you think the toads/frogs would prefer to eat the valued inhabitants of your space more than the slugs? insects, spiders, worms etc.
On ducks:
I've always wondered if it is possible the ducks would bypass the tender plants, but Landon says run them around, do you mean fence/block them out of the beds? Is the idea that they keep the pop down or keep them from getting into the beds in the first place? I think all our beds are permeated with slugs...
I like the idea of raised beds with salty legs, for working in as well, but I'm hoping to work with what I've got at the moment. Maybe the ducks and toads/frogs can co-habit a water feature.
