Me?  GEEE-ROSS!

Was thinking the ammonia would be accumlative in soil, but maybe not... 
Wash/leach away?

Seems a bit high concentration...  I've cats...  To kill germs in
'boxes, you only need 1/10 concentration.  Don't know if this would work
on slugs as effectively as the 2-3 concen...

Yea, yea, yea!  I know, I know! I'll eat fertilizer, but not amonnia or
shingle residue!  I'm quirky!  <g>

And if the weather in MN keeps up as ittiz, we here may have slugs
soon!  WET, WET, WET and humid!

Never know, if I get desperate enuff, I *may* resort to
shingles/ammonia!

I still vote for the sand/egg shells/beer (only if REALLY desperate!)
mode.
