    Today's Project Diary Video I will be showing you how to make your own free and completely organic Slug Traps with left over Containers from the Kitchen.
    This Year has been especially bad for Slugs due to the large amount of Rain fall this Summer but these traps and significantly reduced Slug damage to all my Vegetables, Plants and Flowers.

    Slugs are attracted to the yeast in the beer , I just mix some bread yeast with water for bait. ….the Beer is for me 😊

    Now this trap looks like one that will really work. I especially appreciate you showing us how to put the two containers together, so you can lift the one with the dead slugs out without having to throw out all of the beer each time...REUSABLE TRAPS...brilliant! Great footage of your step-by-step instructions, and the demonstration of how they work. Thank you so much. 💚😊💚

    Your traps are superb. My slug recipe....
    1/2 tsp brewers yeast
    , 1 tsp sugar,
    2 T flour
    2 c tepid water.
    Mix together, pour into
    containers,
    set in garden. Replace
    as needed.
    Drink fresh beer while dragging out the bodies.

    Made a slug trap yesterday with 2 used starbucks cups,got 8-10 1/4" slugs last night with the cheapest beer I could find for bait.Thanks for a great idea!

    I find also just laying an untreated board/log flat on the ground next to the plants and lifting it up every day to grab the slugs works great! They hide under there when they aren't eating I guess. Not super feasible if you have a massive garden and/or not much empty ground space, but it's definitely helped!

    Like almost everyone here, I just want to say thank you for uploading content like these. I especially would like to thank you for your video on leaf miners since my basil plant has been dying these days and I just didnt know what was happening to it. The way you present yourself in your videos is also great. It feels as if we're just your friends and you're just casually sharing what you know. Thanks!

    Great design for a beer trap! Definitively going to try it because my garden is full of snails.

    You sir, are a genius! The double tub / cup with drill holes makes them indefinitely reusable. My broad beans are finally starting to grow healthy leaves. Thank you!

    You are not only adorable, but clever, resourceful, and obviously kind. Thank you for sharing and teaching this old dog some new tricks.

    Best Snail and Slug control by far!! Love the trap designs!! I’ve found for best results start using them in early spring before they start breeding and getting out of control. Thanks mate. Another great vid.

    You’ve got the best ideas to repurpose things and make them useful! 💕

    I've used beer before to fend off slugs & snails & have been quite unsuccessful, so I hadn't really thought about looking at this video before. Your trap-building method takes the whole thing common sense thing to the next level - I can't wait to try it.

    WOW! I'm so glad I found your videos! I just started my first vegetable garden this year. Your videos will be very helpful!

    I recently found your videos and just wanted to say thank you for uploading great information with good editing and a still camera. You're easy to listen to and your directions are easy to follow. God bless you and keep up the good work.
