Default Super Frustration!!!!





Stupid f&*%ing slugs and snails!!!!!! I hate those damn slimy, worthless creatures. This time they ate through my Cattleya skinneri 'Casa Luna' spike a few days before the flowers were ready to bloom. I was actually going to pull the plant away from the area it is growing in to save it from any slug attacks when I found this!!!

Ya, I was putting coffee grounds in the afflicted area for a while, but then my wife stopped drinking coffee in the morning!! Is coffee cheap enough to buy for the purposes of slug eradication?

i brewed coffee for that. maybe you can reuse coffee grounds and rebrew them maybe.
You don't drink coffee?
Anyway you can go to the 99 cent store and get coffee there. Does not have to be the best

Alot of coffee shops will have free bags of "grounds for your garden" that you can get- I've seen them at Starbucks and others.
