RE: Thou Shall Not Rely on Woodchips Alone

Would be great to have a community of people farming with similar methods. I hear you about cabbage moths, here it's slugs. One warm damp summer we had so many that national newspapers started writing articles about the value of slugs in the cycle of decay and decomposition. No one suggested them as a food source, though.

Sort:  

I'm they're 'delicious' somewhere in the world! Haha
I had a post that i resteemed a while back about snail farming that was pretty interesting!
We have had slugs, more at our previous residence, but not ever a problem with them. Do they destroy the garden? My understanding is that beer is the answer to slugs? (Not to mention a million others;)

They do destroy the garden. They seem to be very partial to any plants we grow as food. Beer is probably the best option for anyone (me) that's squeamish.
