list of slug-resisting plants

Try some salt in the water.

I have a KOI pond and when I clean out the leaves, I always pull out a bunch of empty snail shells. Do not see them in the landscape except empty shells in the pond. Maybe the KOI eat them.

I'm sure that is true. Koi would suck those buggers right out.

Even with goldfish, I have to watch what I put in the pond. I put in a couple pots of houttinea (sp? I just it hootenanny) in one year, and the next year the fish ate it as fast as it came up again. Ended up with just little stubbles. Last season I went with basic pond weed as I don't care for the smell of hootenanny anyway (pretty as it is).

haven't been to a hootennanny in a long time. LOL

Slug resistant plants: any plant growing in Montana. LOL

I'm with the rest of you in my feelings for slugs (and increasingly, snails). Baaaad! I have little luck with "old faithful" marigolds, but there I think the slugs get LOTS of help from the earwigs, which are also nocturnal. The huger varieties of marigolds do seem to do a bit better--very unscientific. I was remembering a friend's luck with ducks kidnapped from Lake Washington years ago, but I doubt they'd get on well with either my cats or those rotten coyotes.
