Hi Mountains, Ken actually clarified my original post. The ammonia bath is not a preventative, but rather a direct contact. When the 10% solution hits the slugs and slug eggs they die on contact. I mix up the solution in a bucket to make sure I have enough room for proper proportions, and also because I usually end up needing 3-4 watering cans worth. Once mixed, fill up your can and water the pots like you would normally. Make sure to cover all exposed areas of the soil. The reason I prefer to do this in spring is the hostas are not beginning to leaf out yet. Some people say the solution won't burn leaves, others think it does. I'm too scared to find out, so I stick to before they have leafed. I added the 2-3 inches in my original description to make sure readers understood this is more for the soil than contact with the plant. The depth doesn't matter so long as you make sure you killed what will mostly be at the surface. The link that Tim posted for the hanging gardens recommends using a similar solution only with raw garlic for when the leaves are fully emerged. I plan on trying this, this year. Hope this helped clear up any confusion and thanks for posting. Stay long enough and you might not be able to get away. We're quite the enablers.

Hey Barbra, there you are ! We were wondering where you were. We're over on the Exchanges page if you wanna come pick from our lists ! see you in a few weeks ! patty

I want Laura to win, or Monica. Both of them are tough, smart, winning duels and immunity idols, etc. I don't like Tyson at all. He was throwing Aras under the bus every chance he got and didn't like it when Haydon was doing it to him, I was LOLing about that. I HATE that he found another HII and drew a black rock, rats. He's so snarky, saying mean or belittling things to people with a smile on his face. And so full of himself, his little comment about hiding the HII where no one would be surprised to see a bulge? So tacky. And again, full of himself. I liked that Ciera made a move last night. Unfortunately, last night would have been the time to blindside Tyson because now they won't be able to, I think he'll play that HII no matter what, next Wednesday night. Gervaise didn't like that Haydon was marking Tyson for the win, that was funny, how he wanted to draw all the attention to him, what a dope!
