Phyl, had to google "sluggo" to find out what it was. Really charming web site to view while having morning coffee...LOL. Do people have a problem with slugs traveling toward containers only if the problem already exists in lawn OR do slugs actually develop in container medium? If sterile medium is used is it still a problem as slugs go for roots? Are your containers placed on soil instead of on patio or deck and that lends itself to slug problem? As if I weren't already overwhelmed with all possible problems and pests to look out for in my first year of WS you just hit a new one...LOL. Since I saw raised mole tracks at very front of property earlier this year assume they were going after slugs at one part of front yard. My father applies milky spore every year to deal with them but I'm more than amenable to overkill, literally and figuratively, if this is problem I might need to deal with. Read on Sluggo web site that they can collect in trenches. I left a definition trench around new butterfly garden just because I was rushing to get it in before it got too late in season and had dug the entire garden up to 1 1/2 feet deep to amend and aerate soil (also probably allowing weed seeds in without knowing it at the time) as well as chopping out vine roots. Was going to refine trench come spring when it was pointed out to me that any trench would fill with water. Thought I might dig little further down and fill it with gravel for drainage and place graduated chicken wire fence under gravel to try and keep out groundhogs and bunnies so there's something left for butterflies. Now I'm torn because I think any fencing will be barrier to butterflies and may just take my chances with bunnies and groundhogs. Most plants are supposedly deer resistant but that's almost an oxymoron in this area. Sorry for the rant'n'ramble but got set off by thought of having to deal with slugs! I'm trying to avoid the mental image of those icky pests slinking off to die after consuming Sluggo. Googled "slugs grubs" and even came across "beer bait" method. For some reason little buggers are attracted to beer aroma. Little set-up comes from some inventor in England. Guess they wanted to put leftover Guinness to good use...or guy came up with idea after imbibing a little too much of it.

Your sarrs may do good but that's too much water for vft and drosera. I would use a separate tray or lower the water level. An inch or less should do. Personally I only keep about 1/4 - 1/2 inch of water and leave the tray dry for a day or two between watering to keep mosquitos to a minimum.

Jen after you install FF, do a search for Ricks easy list, download and install it. It will go where it is suppose to go and will stop a lot of ads. You can even block pictures or any ads by right clicking on the ad/picture and then clicking on something in the next menu, ad filter I think. Not the pictures poster post, but the ones on pages like this one. The only ads I see are the green text on the right side of this page, they are no problem.

It took my husband 4 YEARS to notice that our kitchen walls, which were originally white, had been painted wedgwood blue! An out of town friend who had seen the kitchen originally was visiting and commented on the color, and asked when I’d repainted. DH looked up and commented, “oh yeah, the blue looks great, when did you do it?” I’d painted the walls 4 years prior. It would probably take him a decade to notice new lighting.......
