Your Questions About Gardening

Kait,

The only diet and support you need is you and nature.

You decide to let nature take care of your weight and nature will do just that and give you a quality life.

Abandon man’s processed foods, meats and dairy foods and you will lose weight fast without strenuous exercises.

Just eat right and walk or run and enjoy nature. That’s all you need. Here’s my typical day

Up at 4 or 5 am because I am full of energy and ready to go go go!

Flip on the Jack la lane juicer and throw in 3 peeled oranges and half a banana

Eat a slice of organic raisin bread

Go for a mile walk

At 10 am I will flip on the Juicer and throw in carrots, apples and parsley

12 pm eat half an organic bread and veggies with avocado sandwich

Eat an orange, dipping pieces in raw organic honey

5 pm eat brown rice with a garden mix salad with a little olive oil, sea salt and fresh squeezed lemon juice

7 pm drink a glass or organic lemonade made with lemons and raw honey

Before bed boil natural lemon and honey tea

And in between I just eat all the fruits and veggies I want and drink plenty of water because your body needs to be flowing with water vitamin sources instead of processed dead food, meat and dairy that contain toxins

Sound boring and dull?

I’m thin, flat stomach, no bad breath, no foul body or bathroom odors, no pain, no fatigue, no need for vitamin pills or aspirin EVER, full of energy, vitality, no acne, baby smooth skin, clean bill of health, and everybody who wants to live a long healthy quality life can DO THIS!

YOU CAN DO THIS AND BE THIN AND HEALTHY AND READY FOR SUMMER!

You and nature. That’s all you need. And there are a lot of organic foods out there that are GREAT for you and FUN to eat! Best wishes!

The only way is to put up a fence.I metre jackal wire or chicken wire,or the chick wire,and bury at least one quarter of a meter into the ground ,
they dont jump or like to climb very high on wire.
They are very cute though and ,are becoming endangered in many places.
Some people actually have them as pets but they carry a lot of vermin on their shells.
Their favorit food is earth worms and they raided our worm cultures.
And the fence stopped them.
So please dont kill them ,I know they are destructive like small pigs ,they will root up gravel drive ways ,and i let one loose in my garden ,and only one does not do to much damage , i used to see his marks all over the place.But i can imagine that in a small garden one would get to hate them very quickly.

A small dog will deter them .but the fence is realy the correct solution.

If one plants a garden it is only natural that the better the garden gets and the more productive and lush ,the more other aspects of Nature will apreciate you efforts,
this is a complement if any thing else that you are making a good garden,Try to see it in that light.
I have made many gardens for people who had nothing to start with.to convince them to put up a fence is difficult because there was originally nothing to steal and the fence is costly and work.However once a garden gets going it becomes like an open free supermarket for chickens,wildlife,cows ,horses,sheep,goats,pigs,birds and armadillos .And even people

.And it is up to the owner to protect his investment

and to call the cops on these little creatures,as the others suggest is the fascist,cop out solution

A couple of things you can do. The easiest and least gross is buy diatomacious earth (not the swimming pool kind) and run a 2″ band of it around your garden beds or individual plants. The DE is made of diatoms which are basically like sharp pieces of glass to the slugs and they will not cross the barrier. This needs to be inspected and replaced as needed.

Hand pick the slugs and place them into a container of either salt or wood ash. The salt/wood ash melts the buggers. Do this either early in the morning or evening when the slugs are active. A week of hand picking will dramatically reduce your slug population.

You can place a board by your garden and the slugs will crawl under it during the day. Flip it over and remove the slugs and toss them into the salt/wood ash container. I would suggest sprinkling salt directly on them but since the board will be in your garden there is a big risk of the salt getting into the soil and making the soil pretty sterile and unable to grow much.

I have never had much luck with beer traps and you have to replenish them after any rain as the rain dilutes the beer and becomes unattractive to the slugs.
