Good idea, WWH. I think when you buy little amounts it comes in a shaker can, but invariably when needing quantity for gardening, products comes in paper sacks.

We fortunately haven't had too many slugs since our all out war with beer and the diatomaceous earth a couple years ago - so I guess it worked! We try to stay organic and have managed it except for the roses for a couple years running. Organic gardening does turn up the more curious solutions.
