Slugs, love beer! it attracts them and melts them once they get it. That's how I found out gnats and flies love beer too!

Here is one of my mini plants. Yea my grow last year I experienced the same thing, when I chopped the plants out of 3 gallon buckets, the roots barely filled the bowls, they were about 3 1/2 ft . So next time around I used smaller pots.

yea seriously, you can grow as many plants as you want in 1 pot.

And since you guys went there, here is some other stuff. Maybe someone should start a new thread.
