I don't do anything. Just let the leaves die off naturally and go dormant on their own.

I have done that when winter comes quickly, but getting the leaves out of the way leaves fewer places for the slugs and their eggs to hide.

I do the same as you. Mine turned to mush and I have pulled the leaves off already. No place for slugs to hide.

I'm lucky. I don't have a slug problem.

some peeps dump a gallon or so of the diluted bleach around each crown... so the mixture runs into the mulch, if any ....

apparently.. they dont have a lot of plants.. lol ...

darn coffee buzz ....

on doing so.. also kills any eggs that might be hiding down in what is left of the petioles... or int he surrounding mulch ...

any single egg killed... is hundreds of slugs you wont have next year ... kill momma.. you dont have the kids to deal with

ken, again ... until something else comes to mind.. lol ..

ken

must have been quite a buzz... lol...

good catch bkay ...

i mean the same dilution that we
spray for slugs... 10% vinegar or 10% ammonia ... whichever is cheaper in bulk
... vinegar in the pickling aisle ... ammonia at the hardware store

though bruce waxed poetic in bkays post about using bleach ...
