Ep 163: Slugs & Snails Are Back — Here’s the Calm Plan That Actually Works
A targeted, low-tox slug strategy for seedlings and soft growth
Slugs are back — and if you’ve walked outside to find seedlings chewed overnight, this episode is for you.
In this calm, practical mini-masterclass, Esther breaks down a low-stress, realistic approach to managing slugs and snails without turning your garden into a chemical zone or exhausting yourself trying to “fix everything.”
This episode isn’t about eradicating slugs.
It’s about protecting what matters most, using a layered plan that works with plant biology — not against it.
If slug damage has been making your garden feel like a nightly loss, this episode will help you reset, refocus, and move forward with confidence.
