Sluggo, sluggo, sluggo, or any of the organic snail and slug baits with iron phosphate. Green light used to make one that was cheaper in price..... The best stuff out there when used routinely. Once you get them under control with this bait, your fears and problems will disappear. It can also be ordered in bulk (10-25 lbs) online even cheaper.

Hellibores for sure, but they are slow to establish. Plant a Japanese Maple. Louisiana Iris make a nice background, and can give the appearance of grasses.
