The message k from (Larry Stoter) contains these words: Beer in sunken margerine tubs. Nah. They bring all their friends for a knees-up. Precisely! The best long-term solution is predators that eat snails (and slugs) - Song Thrushes, Hedgehogs, Toads, Slow Worms, Glow Worms (if you're in the right part of the country), etc. Glow Worms? Glow Worms mainly eat snails - strange but true. This is why, so I understand, that you usually only find glow worms in chalk/limestone areas because such areas have many more snails because of the greater availablity of calcium for making shells. snips ... -- Larry Stoter |

snips .... There's something illogical about this. There is absolutely no shortage of snails here. There is no chalk within 2oo miles of here and there are no glowworms in our garden. But what about all that bonemeal you put on the garden? Or your concrete driveway? Snails must be getting calcium from somewhere to make shells. -- Larry Stoter |
