Slugs!
    #23363131 - 06/20/16 08:01 AM (7 years, 7 months ago)

Well I went to check on my Mushies and sure enough there were the dreaded slugs! I put a ring of salt around them and threw some pennies down, and poured them some beer to drink on, and am trying to find D. Earth...Also are the ones the slugs ate still going to be okay for me too eat too? They were REALLY going to town, I could see them munching before I even got close.

They're slugs, not demons.

You've been watching too much Supernatural

The copper reacts with their slime and gives them a slight electrical shock. So ive been told.

woa.. crazy. i wonder if it is true, though.  their slime supposedly generates an electrical charge?

i gave it a quick google:

"How to Get Rid of Slugs With Copper
By Robert Pavlis on February 3, 2014

Slugs in the garden can be a huge problem and apparently copper is a good slug repellent. If you encircle your plants with copper tape, it will keep the slugs out. It must work – since there are a number of copper tape products on the market designed to get rid of slugs. But does this really work?

How to get rid of slugs with copper
How to get rid of slugs with copper

Why Does Copper Work?
There are two reasons given for copper working as a slug repellent; toxicity and electric shock.

Copper is a known poison for many organisms and some copper chemicals are used to disinfect and kill organisms. It seems to make sense that copper tape or copper wire would have the same effect. If you think about this for a minute you will realize this can’t work. Most homes in North America use copper pipe to deliver water in our homes. If it were toxic – would we be using them?

Copper compounds may be toxic, but copper metal is not.

The green patina developed on copper metal over time is a copper carbonate salt and could be toxic.

The second claim is that the slime from slugs connects with the metallic copper and the slug gets a small electrical shock from it. This is unpleasant and slugs stay off the copper.

I have not been able to find any scientific reference showing that this is true. It is just repeated thousands of times. So lets apply some logic. You can create a simple battery by inserting copper wire and a galvanized nail into a lemon. This will produce a small current that is measurable. You need 3 important components to make this work; two electrodes of different metals, and an electrolyte–the juice in the lemon. If you want to see a lemon battery in action have a look at this video.

In the case of the snail we have the copper, and the electrolyte in the form of slug slime.The second electrode is missing. Also missing is the connection between the two electrodes which allows the current to flow. I don’t believe that putting slime onto copper will produce an electric charge."

so idk

Pennies are made from a mixture of at least two other metals besides copper.
Copper is just the outer coating. If a penny was scrathed or dinged and
a little bit of the zinc alloy below is exposed, then you have your second
electrode and there is a connection between the two electrodes so :shrug:

What the heck are the chances of them crawling on that tiny penny?

Do you have a complete circle of pennies?

The pennies was just until I get copper tubing, probably won't do anything at all tbh. But I haven't seen any snails or slugs since I put the ring of salt/beer trap/Pennies, but it's probably just the salt/beer trap that worked for now, but it started sprinkling outside so it might disrupt the salt..some of the shrooms are kinda ugly, but I've seen worse in the fields before..

That sucks man, when I got slugs on my outdoor grow I had to move my mushroom plot to a completely different property - they are relentless. If I were you I would go out at night and just find as many as possible, put them in a container and release them at a nearby river (or just kill them). I have heard the old beer trick too:

It seems to be helping but we'll see if it continues to work. I just want to know why the lazy ass slugs want to drink beer and trip on mushrooms all day! Lol:trippinbawelz:
