Hey gratefulseedsaver, thanks for the tips! I've added lavender and rosemary. Can you please give me the exact names for phlox and vinca? I find many different species when searching. Thanks!
Lavender, phlox, vinca and rosemary are pretty slug resistant. I grow all of them without any slug issues. They prefer plants with smooth/tender leaves opposed to aromatic and rough leaves. My “in-ground” strawberries on the other hand…I turned them into “trap crops”.
