Luckily, they only found endo on the actual uterus and cervix, so that should be all gone along with the organs. The main issue is the gas that gets trapped after surgery.

I have that lovely stuff in my gardens, as well. In spring, it was taking over everywhere. The more I planted the beds with crops, the more I mulched the soil, the less of it there was. For a few weeks, I&#39;d pluck them whenever I saw them but I got less vigorous about it as time passed. I learned that horsetail does not like good, happy soil.

Leopard slugs are actually your friend in the garden! Since this does not seem to be public knowledge, here&#39;s your #gardening PSA ;)<br/><br/>Leopard slugs don&#39;t eat your greens. They eat decaying leaves and the eggs of all the slugs you don&#39;t want around. They help keep slugs at bay and clean up your garden. Don&#39;t kill them!
