Ok... pardon the dumb city folk talking here. But are slugs not the ones who dissolve when you pour salt on them? We had some in our yard when I was a kid, but not many.

I have a few snails in my yard now and then here in Tennessee, but not many, and don't see them often. And I haven't seen a slug since we moved here.

@aedroberts I need a landscapers opinion on what grass can be put down to stop erosion. Are you into that sort of thing? Basically all the soil my builder put down for the back yard has eroded down under our fence due to losing half our grass in the drought we had last summer compounded by our lab puppy running all over it.

Any suggestions? I've been trying to get some bermuda to start with limited success.
