I had those slugs in my compost for several years and formed the  
impression that they ate decaying matter, since they left the  
perennial garden completely alone.

Although maybe they were just living in the compost, since they did  
come out at night and eat moss off the siding. Or maybe they ate only  
the freshest of the compost materials.

Comment?
