Slugs can really wreak havoc in a garden. They seem to have a never-ending appetite.
Slugs and snails are part of the mollusk family, and the only real difference between the two is that snails have shells and slugs don’t.
And if you have one of the two species, you usually have the other, since they both enjoy the same environments. We have not seen snails in our yard, but the slugs can really be a nuisance.
Their bodies are soft, moist and covered with slime to protect them from drying out and dying.
Like all animals, even slugs have their place. In the wild, they help compost soil. You just don’t need that many of them “helping” you in your garden.
I had bought strawberry plants a few years ago and put them in large containers . I get strawberries but they are very tiny. Maybe the eggshells will help.
