slug control: ducks in the garden

[anything4you05]

You hated killing them...now you raise them to have ducks kill them hahaha

[Chris153758]

Those are cool-looking ducks... What kind are they?

[smiguet]

My chickens eat snakes...so they will probably like slugs too..lol.

[junbanzai]

i see daffy, i see donald, i see

[apples13able]

The poor little slugs! Raised to be food! What kind of life is that? Those ducks are like huge Dinosaurs to a slug! The terror! And what about that poor baby slug?

[Helmholz42]

This woman compared herself to Hitler for having killed a garden slug? Oh, no no no.

[Jefferdaughter]

@Helmholz42 -That is a lot like saying that the people Hitler killed were slugs, isn't it?

[Helmholz42]

@Jefferdaughter Well, one COULD see it that way. I thought she was being much too hard on herself for having killed a slug. It would be unrealistically principled of her to equate all other animal life to human life.

[jimmie200]

Those are pretty ducks.

[anyuisbjoern]

another organic thing are blackberries. hard to controll. except you have goats..?

[MauiBoutique]

HI...Thanks for the videos....do all species of ducks eat slugs...or just some? Which ones?

[questforbalance]

how do you create a slugarium?

[paulwheaton12]

@questforbalance I have no idea.  If you post a question in the forums at permies, I will see if I can get Jen to respond.

[biodynamicworld]

would ducks not eat vegetables too, if you use them on your veg plot? any experience?

[robmancs1]

i use to have 2 ducks. :-)  bit dirty but good pets.

[catfish222banjo]

ye haw ducks

[organicmomful]

Love this! Thanks you for sharing!

[kylahzarate1]

Cute video! Little ducks are too cute!

[yesurlame]

Ducks = epic!

[MrMelonMan100]

ducks = ummm

[gardenfarmer]

jen, you don't want to kill slugs without a purpose, so you got ducks, now you don't have any slugs.The purpose of getting the ducks was to reduce the slugs, so now you breed slugs...industrial agriculture is just around the corner my dear



[grangersmith]

I don't know if that's too wise, a slugariam? Funny though, cute ducks, I think I could kill slugs very easily, let them drown via beer in a shallow plate is humane! ;D

[SuzyB1988]

I love duckies :) :)

[MrSchpankme]

We've always used ducks for slug control and egg production; we also have free range chickens for pest control. Learn to co-mingle your animals for maximum production (Sheep & Goats, etc).

Wish I would've found this channel earlier. I use to live right down the road from ya in snohomish =) great idea about the ducks too.

[donahutch]

Thanks for the video!

[debsparky]

Ducks are just too stinkin' CUTE! I don't have a problem with slugs on our property, but you've got me thinking about raising some specifically for our Khaki Campbell ducks :-)

[brianfanslau]

That is a really cool discovery and great video.

[liagarden]

@brianfanslau They'll eat the snails, too.

[TheCatfishClayton]

I love this video!

[LightoYagasamiSan]

i love them videos with guitar all the time!

[web4deb]

Nice footage of the pileated woodpecker! I have some great footage of them feeding their babies on my channel. ;-)

[ibboat]

Another Seppism. Not to many slugs not enough ducks. Nice video paul!Can't wait to hear you on TSP agian.

[vutEwa]

awesomeness!

[ahnamay]

Samantha's ducks look so happy!

[Uriel1816]

That is amazing.

[frnknsns]

the most elegant slug story of all time...love it !!

[anyuisbjoern]

Do ducks eat both slugs the with house and the naked one?

[BonnieBlue2A]

Those are some skinny ducks, what are they, runners?

Have to say I had not considered raising slugs. I thought maybe earthworms would make good duck and chicken treats. Maybe a video on raising slugs?

[2Bibleppl]

That must be a real healthy slug arium that she has, they were huge ( 0_0 )
