they've suddenly started eating my young plants too ... there must have been a population explosion during all the rain, and now they are growing snails and very hungryAll gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb. -
Loads here too, and getting cheeky with it. I'm finding them in all sorts of strange places, and quite a few of them are small(ish), so I go along with TwoShed's idea of a "baby snail boom"Comment

Me too! Do beer traps work for them too?Comment

My marigolds have disappeared, almost. One cheeky blighter was oozing down my front window the other day. I was fascinated by the ciliary action of its foot! Then it wrapped bits of its foot around a leaf (like paws) and proceeded with a 'nom, nom, nom' action. Kinda cute, until I saw the marigolds the next day...Comment

I feel your pain one and all. I'm pelleting. Bloody sick of them now so it's war. Organic pellets tho :-)Comment

I think i posted this little fella somewhere, but i thought i'd pop him on here anyway, i really didn't have the heart to squash him, by the way, that's a 1p coin at the side of him, i think he pooed himself when i zoomed in on him

I used to put all the snails that I find into the green compost bin and let the council sort them, but nowadays, since I got my lottie, I just squish them on sight.
The same goes for the slugs, unless I slice them up to use as bait to catch the little fish in my pond that I'm trying to get rid of.Comment

Definitely a baby boom going on. They just ate all my emerging carrot seedlings
I keep finding tiny ones in the GH too!Comment
