You guys really don't get slugs in Colorado? We have them in Utah. More snails than slugs, but still - there are slugs.
I've tried growing tomatoes in pots, but the problem I run into is that even with gigantic pots, they need more watering than beds. And if we go away for a weekend, things tend to be mostly dead when I return. And it's harder to set up the sprinklers to hit pots than it is to run them in beds.
Anyway I confess that I laughed that what you're worried about is dog pee. I guess I get a lot more grossed out by some of the bugs (I hate earwigs so much I can't even tell you), that the idea that dog pee is the concern made me giggle. (Of course that all depends on what bothers you!)
