    slugs and snails do not like rough surfaces, putting mulch or a light dust of sand around the base of your plants should help. Also coffee grounds work wonders as well.

    Egg shells. That's the trick. Broken egg shells will take care of those slugs.

    Take some bowls or plates. Sink them into the ground level with the surface. Pour in some beer in the bowls/plates. The yeast attracts the slugs. They drink their fill and drown.
