What works that I don't have to go out to Home Depot and buy? I think I have some beer on hand but have heard mixed results. And I've tried setting out bowls before with no results either. Maybe I did it wrong?

I don't have sand, eggshells (don't eat much) or anything to put around my plants and there's too much room to be able to cover it all.

I used to sprinkle salt on them but they lay there in the middle of the walkway, waiting to get stepped on. It sounds horrendous but I used to take a machete to them. We bought one for weeds, I think.

Any ideas please? The holes in plants bother me but what makes it worse is going out at night and having to side step slugs and their slime trails.
