right. now look, i'm as stingy as the next scot (cause I am) so lemme tell ya how to make that beer worthwhile as a pesticide. Use a nice big trash can lid and build the soil up around the sides. The same can of beer will attract alot of snails and slugs, and even if they didn't get to jump in the "pool" they get picked up off the beach
and one day I may visit, ya wouldn't want me talkin about your mans missed chance with a garden torch, now would ya miss?
best o' luck
