Human hair clipping work well if you can get enough boots to donate :-) They simply won't go on it, added bonus is it adds nitrogen to the soil as it decomposes.

So if we see a beardless Paul, we'll know what happened...if we see an unusually grumpy beardless Paul, we might guess it was done while he was sleeping ;-)

We used to have a lot of slugs here at the city place, but haven't for a number of years.  I know we used to pick a bunch and crush or drown them.  We did use some eggshells as well.  As I previously had lived in drier parts of the world I'd not encountered slugs before.

Stephen, this video had me kicking myself for trying to grow pumpkins and melons on my GAMCOD hugel this year...I should have put in one or two of our reliable zucchinis.  They may not be as calorie-dense, but they don't get dug (potentially disrupting hugel structure) and once they start producing they keep going gangbusters until frost kills the plant.  Sigh.  Oh well.
