No snails
 
The topic about Slug Clear reminded that I have not seen any slugs or
snails in my garden for years. It's a bit strange because I have never
used chemicals to kill them. I'm not bothered about the lack of slugs
but I'm missing watching the Song Thrush cracking and eating the
snails.

So here is a question rarely asked by gardeners :-

How do I attract snails to my garden?

You stand well back and wait for the zillions of packages now winging
their way to you!

You can have all mine!
If you really want them (be careful what you wish for), I suggest you
seek out a gardening friend who will offer you a pot with snail eggs in.
If the snail-lets hatch and live in your garden then they will tend to
stay there. They have a homing instinct, so the trick is to get the
offspring established.

They are all on holiday down here! Piles of loose stones or old clay flower
pots will provide a snail hotel.

Have you, by any chance, got Slow Worms in your garden, perhaps living in a
compost bin? They do an expert job on snails and slugs.
