Slugs have been a terrible problem for the mason street garden. With low plant diversity and unhealthy soil, pests are not controlled. To make the soil healthier, I added a bunch of compost and all the organic matter I could glean in the fall. My soil looks much richer and healthier already! In addition to making soil improvements to try and help w pest control, I am also removing the slug habitat. I have violet in my front yard, which provides an ideal home for slugs. I removed some of the violet and put up a wooden wall in order to try and stop the slug problem before it starts this year! It also makes the garden look a lot cleaner. It also gives me a bit more space to garden!
