Those greedy fucks will decimate your crops if you don't bring them the pain.
Well luckily for me and the veggies, I found TONS of these:
SLUG EGGS! |
A closer look... |
For your reference, this is what they look like when laid in soil (not unlike the little fertilizer balls some soil sellers include in their mixes)
A mf-ing slug egg in the dirt, waiting to GET FUCKING SMOOSHED! |
Keep an eye out for them! Whenever I see them, I carefully pick them out, and used a big fucking rock to end them all in a mess of shells and gunk.
FUCK SLUGS! fuck them to death!! |
I'm sure a good number escaped the holy plague of destruction that Dad and I brought down upon them... But dad said we'd buy some diatomaceous earth this weekend and sprinkle it around the edges to make sure that any who have the audacity to hatch are met with a hideous death the moment they venture out into the deadly soil.
We also found lots and lots of snails. We walked around with sheers and chopped them into pieces.
Here's just one picture showing how incredibly frequent these little monsters can be:
Today we wiped out probably ~20 snails, and ~30 eggs.
Three snails in a space that would fit just about fit under a silver dollar. |
A decisive victory, the battle in our favor. But... We all know there are hundreds more throughout the yard, hiding in the grass.
Dad's plan to treat the soil with diatomaceous earth WILL be the next step in this campaign.
Anyway... Slugs be damned. Snails can go straight to hell with them.
We fucking wasted the slug population- and we didn't even need the infinity stones to do it.
