Ds spends a lot of time every day in the paddling pool. For the last 5 days or so I have taken to putting Fairy liquid in the paddling pool, then not bothering to give him a bath at night.
Is this out of order, lazy parenting, or an efficient use of time?

  1. Soap Spray:

Another way to stop the slugs is with soapy water. That's right, you can just use your old, dirty dishwater! Collect some of the water in a pan and pour it into a watering can or even use a pitcher to pour it over the plants. This works really well on hostas and mums, but also can be used on other hardy plants. Many bugs do not like their lunch spoiled by a soapy aftertaste! For a stronger solution, mix 3 Tablespoons of liquid detergent into a gallon of water, I prefer Dawn, but any will do. Use this weekly.

(Sorry I didn't think to link that in prior reply)
