This year I grew some beautiful morning glories, moonflowers and black eyed susans using my porch banisters as a trellis. I sized and built the planter trays from scratch, I installed an automatic watering line with each partition havig its own mini sprinkler.
It looks picutreseque cottage core. Vines grow up and around the porch, pretty mixtures of flowers…
I killed so many slugs… so many goddamn fuckyouslugs (and beetles, fuckyoujapanesebeetles) to make it happen…
I toss the slugs out of the yard, but mostly because Sluggo and other suggestions seem only to have emboldened the slugs further as the years progress.
Dunno about your neck of the woods, but here, if you find a Japanese Beetle, you should capture and turn it in (the English translation is only partial).

They’re not just a pest, but a menace.
