Those Damn Roly Poly's

Posted by Johnny Salt on 3/2/2026, 9:42:23

Successfully toppled one of my two cucumber plants
I started new seeds yesterday
They ate a hole in one of my Classic Beefsteaks
My only hope is a sucker pops up from that plant
My 2 pounder gameplan has changed

I always thought they were baby armadillos.

Little slugs are bigging to be a problem here, I've got bait for them.

I used bait too last year... minimal impact
what works best are orange slices
lift it up in the morning and spray them with vinegar
it's a daily activity

Good to know.

slugs are easier to control. Go buy some cheap beer, bury a small container so the rim is at ground level, fill it with beer. They will crawl into the beer and drown.

To hell with "those damn Roly Poly's!"

I tried growing tomatoes from a couple of upside down buckets hanging from a custom pole bar that my b-i-l made me but the caterpillars got the best of them...and me.

BT works excellent on those caterpillars. I grew upside down tomatoes before. The wind took them out. It looks cool but it's a gimmick fad thingy.
