Default Another snail barrier test

Did another experiment with pennies (US) using a hungry snail (I had it
in a bottle for a couple of days). Bad news is that it crossed a 3 penny
wide barrier for its last meal (Corry's snail bait.) Conclusion: pennies
work on slugs but not snails, at least hungry ones (and aren't they all
hungry?)


Hell of a way to go out. Starved for a few days and then fed poison.
