Hi, Joy,
You need to pour diatomaceous earth, available at garden centers, in a
circle around the base of the plant on top of the soil. Put down a
good amount and make sure to complete your circle. Diatomaceous earth
is little sharp granules over which the snails do not like to crawl.
It is usually the ideal solution. Reapply after a series of heavy
rains (so, this year, no problema apparently--once should do the whole
summer..( )
