How to Keep Them Slugs Away
Here are some plants that slugs are not particularly fond of. However, if they are hungry, they will eat almost anything. Always remember that slugs love new foliage growth, so there may be times when they will bother some plants, and other times when they will move onto more desirable ones.
For some reason, slugs tend to avoid plants with hairy leaves or those with milky sap. If you have a particular plant you really like and the slugs like too, you can use Sluggo (a new type of slug bait that is safe to use around animals and children and around vegetable plants) to surround the plant and protect it from slug damage. Or, you can surround the planting with a sprinkling of diatomaceous earth.
