Frugal Gardening's Tip Of The Day: Slug Deterrent





Crushed shells (from eggs, oysters, clams, mussels or snails) can be placed at the base of plants to deter slugs and eventually add nutrients to your soil.

  1. We do this, and the eggshells disappear, but the snails just laugh at our efforts. Our snails are super-snails!

  2. LOL!!! Yes, my snails are pretty smart as well. We can always resort to picking them by hand!

  3. Hi Angela,

    My name is Tina Jin, the community manager for a new blogger community called Garden Gab (www.atomicreach.com/tribe/gardengab). This is a feed powered by Atomic Reach that features bloggers writing about gardening worldwide. This community will focus on tips, advice and personal stories on the subject. I want this Garden Gab community to be a place where expert advice and tips are consolidated in one place for beginner (like myself) and experienced gardeners.

If readers want to read the full story, they’ll be pushed to your blog and give you traffic. These readers will be people who share the same passion and interests as you, which is the sole purpose of the community.

    If you’re interested in joining our community, please e-mail me back at tinajin @ atomicreach.com with “Gardening” in the subject line. If you have any questions, I would be more than happy to answer them.
