What do you do with your bucket of salt and snails? I can't imagine

Makes a nice, if a little salty, soup.

It usually gets tipped into the "inspection chamber" that serves the
downstairs loo to avoid possibility of shells getting caught or not
flushing away inside. I only empty it about every 5-6 weeks as, apart
from any shells, the rest seems to condense itself into a nice jelly
in the bottom of the little bucket.

Occasionally I go out a bit earlier and find the odd sluglet which I
simply chop in two with scissors and leave on the path. Then later on
I can collect half-a-dozen slugs from around each half. Cannibals!
Snails don't seem to do this.
