Califreak :" ..the snail situation out back but
I’m going to try again when we install our new 4 x 4 raised bed.
Treat snails and slugs either organicaly, or chemically.
Organic : placing an aluminum pie plate at soil level, and filling it stale beer (if ever there is such a thing ?).
The slugs and snails will crawl into it, drawn in by fermenting beverage, get intoxicated, and then will drown.
Another Organic : use food grade diatomaceous earth, which uses micro-crystals to shred the mucous membrane
of slugs and snails to desiccate (dry) them out, leaving a dried out carcass.
Chemically : Sluggo (unsafe for pets) and Escar-Go which contain iron phosphate (safe for use around pets, and mammals).
