10 lbs/day/100sf? Seriously? Not in my climate. I get about 200lbs of potatoes/year out of ~1000 sf. That's one crop a year. I get a year's supply of garlic

10 lbs/day/100sf? Seriously? Not in my climate.
I get about 200lbs of potatoes/year out of ~1000 sf. That's one crop a year. I get a year's supply of garlic in another 100sf or so.
Slugs ate my greens this year, so we're at 0 lbs/40sf so far, though there are some chard coming on.
The chickens were doing well till spring, when they molted and went from ~.9egg/hen/day to about .4/hen/day, so the price per egg went from ~15c to ~30c.
Had to build a greenhouse for the tomatoes after getting nearly none last year, so the first one's going to cost $150, but the second one will be cheap.
- simonsarris 15y agoIf you haven't given beer traps a try for slugs, they have work ed wonders for me.
- wiredfool 15y agoI have, but while it killed off a lot of slugs, I'm not sure that it actually protected the plants. We have a nearly infinite supply of slugs. And now, I have an almost 2 yr old, and I'm not really into him pouring sluggy beer all over himself.
