A bucket of salty slugs and snails
 

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?

Collect in a bucket

Boiling water poured over them (No salt)

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?

Boiling water, let it cool and then just bury the bodies?

Garden Path?
Car Hardstanding?
Road?

Let the birds pick at them. This is the alternative we do for the odd few.

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 ;)

That's what I am thinking too to be honest and I might just be taking a
wander out sometime after 10.

And before anyone asks no, I will not be doing this again!

Drain contents over sink (that's legal) flash-fry in garlic butter. Now the
tricky bit - do you 'ave any French neighbours?

I have just returned from an evening stroll round the garden by torchlight.
Unwanted diners upon my lettuces, chard & pak choi were taken to the stream
at the end of the garden and given a swimming lesson. One 'swimmer' was a
slug the thickness of my middle finger and the length of my hand. But
between them the hens, frogs & toads seem to be keeping a decent check on
the number of unwanted diners. This is a good thing.

Remember to do it late at night when it is dark, use a torch and say
aloud "Where shall we bury the bodies?" within earshot of neighbours. ;-)

It's not your news reader that's odd - it's (paranoid) 'Mike' (AKA Uncle
Albert)that's 'odd'
