It does work! So I thought I would pass it along...

Slugs and snails hate wood ashes. Sprinkle
ashes around flower and vegetable plants. The ashes
are a good source of potassium, unlocking nutrients so
that plants can take them up. Ashes also check radish
maggots: Sprinkle ashes over seeds before covering
with soil.
