Slug Bate and Broccoli

Today Mark left for a week on the Salmon and I am taking over lead Guardian of the Garden.
The first order of business is watering.  There are four sprinklers to manage, but a little attention goes a long way there.  Next, Beer Battered Slugs.  Slimy slugs are lurking where they are not welcome.  This morning I found one going after the dog biscuits, and I'll be damned if they touch our human treats.  So, it is time to invite them to eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow they shall die...in a pool of beer.  I am not sure if four beer traps will be enough, or if they even have enough beer in them, but this is my starting point.

BATE 1: tomatoes
BATE 2: left side of potatoes

BATE 3: right side of potatoes

BATE 4: middle of onions
 
The broccoli has been harvested and the bate is set.  I can not wait to see my catch.
