>I am looking for a way of repelling slugs and snails from my garden
>(in the SF Bay area).  Would planting a border of marigolds and garlic
>work?  Any suggestions would be gratefully received.


My wife gets a small round tin, adds a little BEER,
and WA-LA. The slugs climb in the tin, drink the beer
then drown 'cause they can't get out.
Laugh if you must.....but it works.
