i have the most dreadful snail problem. They are eating my basil,
geranium, carrots, lettuce, spinach and marigolds. My local nursery
recommended tobacco dust, which I have sprinkled but they just seem to
try and find a way around it - it's driving me crazy. Any suggestions
would be most appreciated.

If you don't want to use any poison snail baits,
dishes of beer have worked well for us here.
They seem to prefer the dark ale the most. ;-)

Try planting a few pennyroyal plants around as well. Once those
get established it helps also.
