Hi all, I’ve used beer traps for catching slugs in my garden here in Ireland. It works well and has saved a lot of brassicas over the years, but it’s a shame to be buying and pouring out even the cheapest beer.
Theres a glut of nettles here and I’ve brewed plenty of wine and beer before. I’d imagine that a simple nettle beer homebrew would do well at attracting slugs and be far cheaper (I could simply top up the ferment with more cooled boiled sugar water, yeast and nettles) but I don’t really want to make the nettle beer if slugs have no interest in it.
Has anyone tried it before?
