Expert Village doesn't seem very informative no matter what it is.

@pmt1942 Me to!! I finally figured out how to solve the slug issue! All you have to do is put them in a flower pot or container and slugs cant climb into the pot!

I have to battle slugs eating my marigolds. So, I have discontinued planting them with my other annuals. What do you suggest?

As the air starts to turn too cool for the marigolds, I like to spread a little compost or potting soil over the area where the marigolds had grown during the summer. The seeds that fell in that area will be just fine till the weather warms up to start the growing cycle over again next spring.
