Subject: RE: How is your garden this year?
Try a little saucer with cheap beer in it - put it in the dirt with the lip at ground level. The little buggers crawl in, get drunk and drown. Spreading diatomaceous earth around the base of the plant will kill them if they crawl in that way. You have to replace it after rain or watering, though. Likewise, a strip of copper - the copper reacts with the slime or something.
