Place an old shallow container such as a pie plate about 3 foot away from the cabbage plants, and fi it with beer. The slugs jump in, get drunk and drown! Another way, save egg shells. Sprinkle a barrier abound he plants. The slugs will not cross as they will be cut. -

Halve citrus fruits, squeeze juice but leave the pulp. Lay them cut side down, leave overnight. Come morning, flip them over and dispose of the slimey suckers! Repeat. 😊 -

are they slugs or cabbage worms? If they are slugs, use finely crushed egg shells in a circle around the stem. Cabbage worms are insidious.. spray w bt. -

Put a cup of beer out and then check it in the morning. You should see them in the beer. Keep changing it out every night for a week. That should take care of them. You can also sprinkle egg shells around the cabbage heads. They don't like them. -

FILL A SAUCER OR JAR LID WITH BEER. THIS ATTRACTS THE SLUGS AND THEY DROWN, BUT THEY DIE HAPPY
