We talk through how we handle that pressure in a way that protects young plants now and reduces damage over time, without pretending there's a magic switch that makes slugs disappear forever.We start with the long game: building a garden that recruits natural predators. From song thrushes and starlings to hedgehogs, frogs and ground beetles, we explain the habitats and garden choices that make a real difference, including why no dig gardening can support the beneficial insects that disrupt the slug life cycle. If you want organic gardening methods that work with nature rather than against it, this is the foundation.Then we get practical about slug control and snail control when you need results fast. We compare ferric phosphate organic slug pellets, beer traps (including how much area one trap covers and how often you need to empty it), and barrier methods like copper tape, sheep's wool pellets, dried seaweed and oyster shells. We also touch on Grazer's G2 as a deterrent spray, plus what's going on with slug nematodes and why they can be difficult to get at times.We also share a quick note on Bloom, including our talk times and where to meet us for a hello.

On this week's episode of The Full 360, we're excited to welcome our very first guest to the show!Bookseller and award-winning magician Colin Holt joins Jon and Robin to share a fascinating fact and help weave together a 360-style conversation filled with wonder, humour, and plenty of laughs.A 360-second podcast that's full of the weird, the wonderful, the profound and the hilarious facts of life on earth.© 2026 Jonathan Clemson & Robin Crossman

In this episode I chat with singer-songwriter Randall Goodgame to explore the powerful connection between music, Scripture memory, and family discipleship.Randall, the creator behind Slugs and Bugs and the Scripture Hymnal, shares how his journey into writing word-for-word Scripture songs began not in a studio, but in his own home. Faced with helping his young children memorize Bible verses, he discovered that setting Scripture to music made memorization not only easier, but joyful.From that simple beginning grew a body of work that has helped countless families hide God's Word in their hearts.In this conversation, Randall discusses how music uniquely engages the brain and why songs become such a lasting part of our memory. He explains his songwriting process, including how he chooses Scripture passages and matches musical tone to the meaning of the text. He also shares behind-the-scenes insights into the challenges of turning certain passages into songs—and how those challenges often lead to deeper understanding.We also dive into the role of joy and humor in the Christian life. Rather than diminishing the seriousness of Scripture, Randall explains how laughter and childlike faith actually reflect a deeper trust in God.One of the most encouraging parts of this episode is Randall's honesty about family devotions. Despite creating devotional resources used by families around the world, he openly shares his own struggles and reminds listeners that faithfulness matters more than perfection. Together, they discuss simple, practical ways to build meaningful family rhythms without unrealistic expectations.Whether you are a homeschooling parent, a ministry leader, or simply someone who loves Scripture and music, this conversation will encourage you to think differently about how truth takes root in our hearts.You'll also hear practical advice for turning around difficult homeschool days, fostering gratitude in your family, and creating a home environment where God's Word is both central and joyful.If you've ever wondered how to help your children remember Scripture, build lasting faith habits, or bring more joy into your family discipleship, this episode is for you.Be sure to like, subscribe, and share this episode with a friend who would be encouraged by this conversation.Show Notes and Full Transcript: https://www.humilityanddoxology.com/singing-the-bible-with-randall-goodgame/Life Skills Now: https://sl290.isrefer.com/go/LSN5/arsloan/Homeschool START Course: https://www.made2homeschool.com/a/2148255817/KNcPGL3tGetting Started With Shakespeare Guide: https://www.humilityanddoxology.com/exploring-shakespeare-children/FREE 5 Day Gentle Homeschool Reset: https://www.humilityanddoxology.com/gentle-homeschool-reset/While you're here, would you take a minute to leave a rating and review in your podcast app?

Wisconsin farmers are dealing with a new pest familiar to gardeners. Slugs! Dane Elmquist tells Stephanie Hoff that slugs are becoming a bigger field pest because of conservation practices. Elmquist is the conservation cropping specialist with the Division of Extension. Slugs thrive in no-till and cover crop systems because the heavy crop residue and lack of soil disturbance create a cool, moist microclimate where populations can build up year over year. While they feed on both corn and soybeans, slugs pose a greater economic threat to soybeans; corn is generally more resilient and can often outgrow the damage. Crops are most at risk early in the season as seedlings, particularly when a mild winter is followed by a wet spring that slows down initial plant growth. Recent heavy infestations have been reported in Northeast Wisconsin, specifically within the Fox-Wolf watershed area near Green Bay. To combat the lack of data on slug populations in Wisconsin, researchers launched SlugNet, a monitoring project where volunteers use simple roofing shingles as "traps" to track and report slug activity across the state. Be a part of it by searching SlugNet online! Frosty start to our Thursday morning, and that trends going to continue. Stu Muck, ag weatherman, says overnight frost/freeze warnings will persist into the weekend. No go on the 2026 Farm Bill yesterday. Between worries about SNAP budget constraints and E-15 additions, it's headed back to the House Rules Committee for negotiation. Pam Jahnke shares comments from Brad Olson, President of the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation. Nonfat dry milk is at 10 year highs in pricing. Why? Collin Aardema, dairy advisor for EverAg, explains that nonfat dry milk is an ideal ingredient in a lot of foods - especially those high in protein. What's different about this rally he says - China's missing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Roger and Evil are kicking off a brand new series—Staff Picks—and this episode gets downright itchy with Creepy Crawlies

This week on the Veg Grower Podcast, Richard takes us through that wonderful mid‑April moment when everything suddenly bursts into life. The allotment is waking up fast, the kitchen garden is buzzing with activity, and even the potting shed has a surprisingly important topic to tackle. There's been planting, sowing, weeding, rescuing, and—thanks to a small accident—some very seasonal cooking too. It's been a full and productive week, and Richard shares it all. On the Allotment Richard begins the week down on the allotment, where the next batch of potatoes has gone into the ground. This time it's the Maris Piper, the first of the maincrop varieties and one of Richard's favourites for roasting and chipping. The method stays simple: a hole, a seed potato, a sprinkle of fertiliser, a layer of compost and a good watering. There's excitement too, because the Rocket potatoes planted earlier in the season have now pushed their first leaves through the soil. Those tiny green shoots are always a reassuring sight, a sign that the season is moving forward and that the first harvest isn't too far away. A few weeks ago Richard sowed carrots and parsnips on the south side of the greenhouse, and they've now germinated. They're still tiny, but they're up, and that's what matters. They'll need careful watering, but it's another sign that spring is well underway. Richard has also planted out onions grown from seed—a fiddly job, but one that should pay off with fewer bolted onions later in the year. And the broad beans have gone in too, both the overwintered plants and the January‑sown experiment. They're now tucked into the old straw bale bed and mulched with straw to help keep the moisture in. Seed saving is a big focus for Richard this year, so a couple of parsnip plants have been left in the ground to flower. They still look like ordinary parsnips for now, but once they bolt, they'll provide seed for next year. And while weeding the asparagus bed, Richard accidentally snapped off a couple of spears. Not ideal, but they came home and ended up inspiring this week's recipe. In the Kitchen Garden Back home, the kitchen garden has been just as busy. The greenhouse has been warm—very warm—and the autopots have kept the tomatoes, cucumbers, chillies and peppers perfectly watered. They're growing strongly and won't be long before they start flowering. The cold frame, however, has been a battleground. Slugs and snails have found their way in and eaten Richard's cucumbers. Because he doesn't use pellets, it's back to the usual routine of nightly slug patrols, a bucket, and the chickens enjoying the spoils the next morning. The upside‑down clay pot trick is still working well, giving the slugs a cool hiding place that makes them easy to collect. Out in the main beds, Richard has been tackling the weeding in small, manageable sections. One area by the shed had become a bit of a dumping ground for pots, so he cleared it, trimmed the grass, and planted an apple tree there instead. It won't fruit this year, but it's a long‑term improvement to the space. Some of the potted fruit trees haven't survived last year's dry summer and this winter's cold snap, including the citrus. A few might still come back, but replacements may be needed. Meanwhile, the seed sowing continues in the shed—more beans, more sweetcorn, more of everything really—and the heated propagators have now been switched off for the season. Recipe of the Week: Asparagus & Potato Traybake This week's recipe came about thanks to those accidentally harvested asparagus spears. Asparagus has such a short season and such a delicate flavour that when it's ready, you really do have to make the most of it. Richard made a simple asparagus and potato traybake with a lemon and herb dressing. Potatoes were roasted first, then chopped asparagus and red onion were added along with a little more oil and seasoning. While that finished cooking,

He's broken several world records: largest group skydive, longest scuba dive on a single tank—and the most species of nudibranchs ever found on a single dive (71).He's spent 23 years chasing these tiny creatures, building a global following of more than 60,000 people who are equally obsessed.But what even is a nudibranch—and why are thousands of people going nuts over them?Well, they dress like drag queens, some of them can fire miniature deadly spears out of their flubbery bits, and some can even walk on water like Jesus — but upside down, and with only one foot.In this fun and outlandish interview with the world's biggest nudie fanatic, we get up close and personal with these outrageously beautiful, neon-coloured ocean jewels found in every corner of our seas.Listeners be warned: nudibranchs can be surprisingly addictive.(I mean, JUST LOOK at the nudibranch in the thumbnail image.

Hey there Lovelies and welcome back for the 390th episode of Final Girls Horrorcast! Today we're kicking off the 80's Were Weird Month with a movie from 1988, ‘Slugs', streaming on Prime Video and Roku.    Trailer Trashtalk: ‘Lee Cronin's The Mummy' (March 17th, 2026)   Next Week - Join us next week as we chat about ‘The Lair of the White Worm' streaming on Kanopy, Hoopla, and Plex.

Slugs and snails are a constant frustration for gardeners in Western Washington, but trying to eliminate them completely isn't the goal, and it's not realistic. In this episode, we're joined by Skagit County Master Gardener Diana Wisen to talk about why these pests thrive in our region, what role they play in the ecosystem, and how to manage them effectively in a home garden. We dig into slug behavior, life cycles, and the key moments when they're most vulnerable. You'll come away with practical, research-based strategies that focus on control rather than eradication, helping you reduce damage while working with the natural systems in your garden. Resources mentioned in this episode, along with a full transcript, can be found on our website.  

As well as slugs that we need to control, there are useful slugs as well! - Martin and Jill visit their friends Paula & Steve at Floral Media and take some gardening questions about soil, slugs, tulips and magnolia, plus Jill shares a recipe for rhubarb tiramisu!Recipe Link: https://www.martinfish.com/blog/rhubarbtirimasu/ Slugs that are Good for the Garden?

Slug pressure has become an increasingly common and frustrating challenge in crop fields in recent years, driven by wetter springs, heavy residue, and changing production systems. In this episode, we dig into why these slippery pests seem harder to manage than ever. With Kelley Tilmon joining us, discuss the limitations of traditional control options and what growers should realistically expect from different management strategies. From scouting and risk factors to cultural, biological, and chemical tools, we'll break down what we know and how to make informed decisions when slugs start putting your stand at risk.

It might not be obvious in Aotearoa, but there's something like 1400 different species of snails! They're in many groups and with many different jobs to do, in the forests, in liquid habitats, on tree trunks, and in your garden. Native snails consume dead and decaying leaves, fungus, and algae (they don't eat your veggie garden) and leave behind nutrient-rich poo for soil health. The Leaf-veined slug is one of those Molluscs that slithers around in the evening and at night. Their movement can be relatively smart, especially when they cruise on outdoor furniture or on leaves. Here they clean surfaces – literally! I've always called them the Wet & Forget slug, simply because they leave those clean tracks where-ever they went. Paryphanta the kauri snail. A serious native snail with almost 80 mm diameter shell. It occurs from Kaitaia to the southern parts of Northland. It's even distributed to Titirangi and Laingholm, where I used to have it on our lawn, especially at night. I'll never forget having to remove these massive snails before mowing the lawn! They are carnivorous: eating worms, insect larvae, and other snail species. The way they catch the worms is akin to sucking up spaghetti from the layers in the soil! Limax maximus (literally: “the largest slug”) also known as the leopard slug. Introduced into New Zealand and has a habit of getting inside our homes, especially when there's a cat with milk in its bowl. The slurping by this slug can be heard by the neighbours! And here is one of those introduced snails that can cause a lot of damage to your garden: Cantareus Asperses, the Brown Garden Snail. It's originally from Northern Africa and taken to France, a long, long time ago, it was introduced to NZ with European settlers. Troublesome eater of leaves etc in massive numbers; hiding under pots during the day and always more numerous than you think. One of the so-called “control” measures is spreading sharp chicken eggshells around the plants, so that the snails can't walk over those sharp items. This picture shows one of those snails crossing over a brand-new, super sharp knife… One historical story is far more important than sharp knives: this snail species is one of the preferred snails that French people cultivate and use to create Escargot. Snail farming in New Zealand might not be a bad idea – it makes that protein a lot cheaper with the rising prices of our food! LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Building healthier soils requires trial and error, and sometimes uncovers side effects.

As mother nature slowly begins to tease us with the occasional warm day, and longer periods of sunlight, I can't help but dream of warmer days spent exploring outside, underneath the forest canopy. One of my favorite things to do while exploring the forest is to take in the intricacies of the forest floor, and discover the diverse life that inhabits that space. Between the litter layer, growing mosses, and decaying logs, a utopia full of life is waiting to be unearthed.

I first saw and interviewed Dag Juhlin more than 30 years ago when he was singing, writing and playing guitar with the power-pop trio the Slugs. He's had many musical lives since then, including playing in Poi Dog Pondering's expansive Chicago lineup, performing deep-cut covers in Expo'76 and Courtesy Patrol, supporting Len Kasper's songwriting in Sonic45 and singing and writing songs with his latest trio, Sunshine Boys. He's also about to hit the road with Michael Shannon & Jason Narducy and Friends to mark the 40th anniversary of R.E.M.'s Lifes Rich Pageant. He talks about all that here, including the striking popularity of the R.E.M. project, whether it's a tribute band or something else, and how that amazing photo of Juhlin with Michael Stipe came to be. He also tells the Sunshine Boys origin story and explains how that band “unquit the music business.” (Photo by David Kindler.)

It's week 3 of A Novel January and today we have 80's creature feature and pulp fiction novel -- SLUGS!!Mikey, Ade, and Lance break down the gooey kills, bonkers practical effects, and why this gross-out eco-horror oddity still wriggles its way into horror fans' hearts. Is Slugs pure B-movie trash or an underrated gem of creature-feature chaos? We discuss the film's place in late-'80s horror, its unforgettable set pieces, and whether killer slugs can truly carry a movie. We also compare the film to the novel (which Mikey did read!)But the slime doesn't stop there. We're also joined by author and filmmaker Brandon Perras Sanchez for a quick interview where we talk about his work, creative inspirations, and the overlap between horror literature and independent filmmaking. Brandon chats about storytelling, the challenges of bringing dark ideas to life, and what we can expect from him in 2026!It's a fun, gross, and insightful episode packed with killer slugs, cult horror discussion, and creative conversation. So grab your salt, watch your step, and press play.

Today we're spotlighting an underappreciated group of marine creatures: sea slugs. Don't let their humble name fool you. They come in vivid neon colors, with patterns that rival the most beautiful butterflies and feather-like external gills and tentacles.There are an estimated 10,000 species of sea slugs and they are incredibly diverse. Some are smaller than a quarter. And one species can weigh more than a terrier, up to 30 pounds. Not to mention their contributions to brain research—understanding their neural networks was the basis for a Nobel Prize in 2000.  Marine biologist Patrick Krug joins Host Ira Flatow to dive into the slimy science of sea slugs. Guest: Dr. Patrick Krug is a sea slug researcher and professor of biological sciences at Cal State LA.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.
