Ok, I found out that the pest were slugs. About 35 which I just launched into the lake near my plant for the fish to feed on. They really tore apart some of the bottom leaves pretty good, and I am going to all the precautions to take, Copper Wiring around base, salt around base, eggshells, etc. Also using soapy pesticide. The only thing I am wondering is if I should either let the eaten plants stay on and look bad, or would it benefit the plant if I cut the leaves at where they meet the stem...To cut or not to cut.
