[net.garden] leaf miners

barbaral@tekig1.UUCP (08/04/83)

Something is eating my bok choy leaves (a leafy vegetable).  I think
they are leaf miners.  My gardening book suggests diazanon powder. 
Does anyone know of an organic remedy?  

The dishes of beer didn't get any slugs, but got a bunch of black beetles.

I didn't believe until I saw it...there are 6 inch spotted slugs in Oregon.

re: six inch spotted slugs

The biggest one that I have actually measured was just over nine inches.
I saw one that might have been bigger but didn't get the opportunity to
measure it.
