Snails, snails, snails..

Well I now have concluded that snails are only good on a plate with garlic and butter - not the garden.

I tried, Oh Lord, I tried to do the humane thing. I used seaweed, I used eggshells, I even had a catch and release program for the buggers. Watered late in the evening and by 9:00pm would be able to just pluck them up, with flashlight in hand and put them ALL in a bag and take them down the road to a new suitable home - but NO!!! They always came back, with friends and slugs. They ate everything but when they hit the sunflowers, they had crossed the line.

I searched the web for all alternatives, and of course found I have given them the perfect home with rock walls for garden bed borders. The watering was just encouraging them to flourish and breed. So my final word on the subject - get a snail & slug bait/ killer and use the hell out of it!

I pray for forgiveness for the murders as I watch my plants return!
