Beans are coming! (lemmy.world)

After a cold and rainy start of spring, finally the beans are sprouting. We also have a bunch of tomatoes and brassicae.

Let's hope the abundant snails don't take too much.

If it's slugs that are bothering you, the dish of beer trick does wonders for me.

Put a shallow dish next to the problem plant and pour in some beer. The next morning you will have a dish full of dead slugs. Repeat for a few weeks until the problem goes away.

I might give it a try. But it only works if it's not constantly raining. Unless... You put some roofing on those dishes
