It is enough to make life difficult for yourself and invent a bicycle, in particular when fighting slugs. Do not dare to sprinkle the garden with salt, because you will destroy not only pests, but also the fertility of the soil.
The people have a very simple, but effective and safe method. We need to make traps for slugs.
To do this, take old rags (any fabric will do), soak them in a sweet fruit decoction (compot, uzvar, jelly, etc.).
Arrange the months where you saw traces of slippery crawlers.
When the weather is sunny, the snails will "peck" at the bait and come to the "sweet trap".
By the way, you can also use beer from liquids. Slugs crawl on hops no worse.
