| On the tv gardening program 'Vasilis Garden' on Ch 31 (a community tv
| channel here in Sydney), the host described how to make a snail
| repellent spray.
|
| He collected about 15 live snails, crushed them in a saucepan and added a
| litre of hot water. This was boiled for 10 minutes, allowed to cool and
| the liquid strained into a spray bottle. He then sprayed this liquid over
| the foliage of garden seedlings and on the outside of pots, anywhere that
| he wanted snails repelled from.
|
| I'm describing this in case someone with a snail problem cares to try it
| and can let the rest of us know whether it works. I'm skeptical but open
| minded.

If you're talking about usual garden snails then they are edible. Putting
them in a pan with hot water would make soup.
