    Ha ha ha, now you will NEVER get rid of them!! They know now where they can get a free beer

    My dad used to keep the snails away from the leek with a "salt-path" too

    I remember when I was a child my parents had some good friends who used to come over for dinner alot. In fact, I used to call them Aunt and Uncle. Aunt Jessie used to say that her garden had loads of snails and slugs and she used to tease us kids by saying that she would go out in the middle of the night and pee on them in order to get rid of them. For years my brother and I believed her.

    Hey, what the heck, it's worth a "shot" no???

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    Ha, it seems that they like beer... how about putting a couple of small bowls of that just OUTSIDE your garden! They'll all gather together there and have a party.

    We have some here called "killer" snails. Hope you get rid of them!!
