om...
Can anyone tell me how to go about catching snails WITHOUT poisoning
them or drowning them? I have heard that snails love beer (can you
blame them?), but how would you set up a snail trap where they are
kept alive, but can't get out?
I intend to cook them, after they have "cleaned themselves" out. Bran
or something?
Anyway, a good snail trap that doesn't poison or drown them? I hear
that they like dark damp areas.

A milk jug cut in half with tomatoes in it might work. Slugs like them. I
don't see why a snail wouldn't like them. Remember though, that some snails
are poisonous, so make sure you know what you are eating. Yuk.
