Re: Saving snails

Years ago we didn't see many snails. There were plenty of slugs but snails were a bit of a rarity and I can remember the children collecting them, in jam jars, when we were on holiday in our caravan in Wales.

Now, my garden gets overrun with the blasted things and I'm afraid I crunch them underfoot. I can't afford to be sentimental when I have lettuces and cabbages at stake. The increase in snails has coincided with the decrease in thrushes - I haven't seen a thrush in my garden for years.
