slug problems

So our cabbages are being eaten and we are pretty sure of the culprit... slugs.  It has been so stinkin soggy that they have taken up residence in our cabbage patch.  While searching for organic ways to dispose of the little suckers we found an interesting solution.  Beer.  I like to think that beer solves many things so it is worth a try right?  We took tiny yogurt containers and cut them in half.  Then we filled them with beer and set them right in the cabbage bed and covered the bed with our muslin covers.  guess what?  slugs like beer!  It seems that they love it so much they are willing to drown in it.  We found many little alcoholics floating in the cups and our cabbages are happier for it.
