Climate difference in Fern forest vs Hawaiian acre

They're monsters out here. I just killed a slug last night that was easily 8" long. Leopard print. They come for the cat's food at night.

Don't you hate it you have a few people over for some beers and some of them leave an inch or two of beer in the bottom of the bottles?

Well now there is something useful that you can do with that stale beer.

Put some open containers out with the stale beer in them. The slugs around your garden love beer and they drown in it. Just keep the dogs away. Slugs aren't the only ones that like beer.

True that, Cagary! My dogs are beer lovers. I go hand picking the buggers every month or so and put them in a bottle with a cap. Then they go in the trash. Keeps them down a LITTLE bit.

Thanks all for the replies. It looks like I will be mostly looking in the Hawaiian acres subdivision and lower. Another question, I have heard ducks are good slug catchers, anyone here have a good experience using them for that? Or area few ducks just not enough? Also any danger of getting slug diseases like rat lung from eating a duck?

Hawaiian Acres varies from nearly 1200' to around 900'. Some areas are "more wet" and/or "more recent" than others, check the vegetation.

Citrus works well, as do the "low-chill" blueberries. Apple, peach, nectarine, and pear are all growing but too soon to know how they will fruit. Bananas, coffee, sugarcane and pineapples do well.

Note also that HA is "pre-State", some roads have no power or phone, some cable is available where there is pavement.
