There's something illogical about this. There is absolutely no

But what about all that bonemeal you put on the garden? Or your concrete
driveway?

we don't put bone meal on our garden and we haven't a concrete drive
way. I thought that as a result of BSE F&M bone meal was banned
nowadays.


Snails must be getting calcium from somewhere to make shells.

the same place as I get mine from munching vegetables etc.
