The message SFZtc.75$8q3.40@newsfe3-gui
from "good golly miss Molly" contains these words:

Apparently if you put sharp grit or crushed eggshell around the plants,
slugs and snails will leave them alone cos it hurts their slimey little
tummies. Salt also will stop them. A ring of cheapo lidl table sale and
your plants are slug safe.

But die of salt poisoning.

Salt is an even more effective way of killing plants than importing giant
snails!
