Natural Slug Repellant

Garlic! 

Garlic repels slugs from your garden :)

I had extra reusable produce bags that I used to create garlic rings.

You can plop out the old garlic and reinfuse them with new ones

by cutting a small slot in between the plastic.

These are perfect for hanging from trees

or... putting at the base of a tree

Garlic at the edge of potted plants.

And Voila, for around the garden plot too :)

This plot also has hot chili powder and egg shells to deter slugs and ants.

Also planting mint around your garden deters slugs.

Bonus: Ants hate the garlic as well. 

I hung the garlic rings on the apple trees 

and watched as the ants squirmed away :)

A win for everyone!

Egg, Eggs, Egg Shells

Eggs are not my favourite thing to eat, but I do for my garden ;) Tomatoes thrive on the calcium from the shells, and sprinkling some around plants will help to deter slugs.

I save up all my eggs shells throughout the winter. Here's how I prepare it for the garden:

 Put the shells into a blender. 

Using a butter knife to crush them first will give you room to put more in.

Turn on the blender. 

 This is what it looks like after the blending.

Voila shells for your gardening need.

These will keep for a year in a cool dry place.
