    Hi Starstella,
    You could always sprinkle some of your cat litter around the plants
    (the granular type) this worked for me When the snails try to slide over it, it makes them look like little macaroons and with a bit of luck the mice might carry them off. Good luck.

    I read somewhere (may even have been on here) about laying out some porridge oats. The slugs eat them. The oats swell up. Pop.
