Almost all of my marigold sprouts are gone. Something is chewing up the leaves. Yesterday I noticed that the lilly leaves are also half eaten. Is there a homemade remedy that would drive the slugs or whatever is feasting on my little plants away?
Thanks.

Some bugs only chew at night. Wait until it's really dark and take a flashlight and shine it on your plants. You can see the bugs and know which it is that's eating them. Then, you can figure out what you need to stop them. Dooley
