I have sent this question twice now on the newsgroup, but I am having
trouble with my ISP. I can't even find the second message on Google, and
there was no response to my first. I would appreciate advice.

Something is devouring my basil leaves. How can I stop this? My rhubarb
leaves are also being decimated - is there a treatment for this?

Many thanks. I'd appreciate a reply.

The first step is finding out what is eating it. Do a careful
inspection, the inspect again 2 hours after dark. My basil leaves
have a few chew holes, but I've been eating them anyway. Snails and
slugs will do damage, but we have plenty of night-hunting toads.
