This is the first summer that we have tried red cabbage.  The cabbages and our lettuces have been covered in slugs looking for a meal.  I have been going out with a flashlight in the evening when they come out to pick them off.  With all the vacations and time away, I needed more tricks.  I decided to make beer slug traps, which after only a couple days caught several dozen slugs and a bunch of earwigs. I refined the design with some larger openings and added a couple more and they worked pretty well.  It seems like a ton of work for a couple cabbages.  I think next summer it makes sense to rotate through different quick lettuces and greens.
