After taking some advice, I have been popping today's collection of
slugs and snails, collected while weeding, into a bucket of salty
water to kill them.

But now what?

A silly question perhaps but what do people do with the resultant
carnage? Pour it down the drain?

compost heap?


I do not have a compost heap. Unfortunately I do not have the room nor
do I have the waste to put on it as I have a relatively small garden
with no grass.

Just a couple beds and lots of pots. :-)

bury them!

It is the saltiness of the water rather than the bodies that is
causing me concern - would it be ok to pour that on to my garden?
NO! Not on your garden. The salt will kill everything in sight. I'd say a
street drain............but that's illegal, so I didn't say it

Nor did I. And I did nothing of the sort myself, either! Birds won't
take them because of the salt and if thet do, it may well harm them, so
street drain or loo? Hmmmmm......! ;-)
