DA, DA daaaa, SUPER EL...off to save the planet.

Good luck with that, especially with likes of Dr. EVIL, AKA Gordon, the Moron, and his sidekick Mini me..Bumbling Bush. Together, they crush the spirits of the inhabitants of the planet.

Meanwhile Emporer Ming, alias some french !!!!!! star dude, has begun a final crush on the European contingent....SO WHO DO WE NEED??

Morning squizzer, i have a snail problem as well. Very evil i am with the salt. I have strawberries and toms. I have lots of seedlings growing for the hanging baskets, but never planted my veg ones..ran out of containers. I have been re jigging my garden to try and fit some crops in.

Obviously i have to grow my turnips now..but the trick is to supersize them. Wonders off to sneak some tips from greenfingered lot...

I need to find a snail cure - do you just put the salt round the edges of pots etc? I've been using it as a natural weedkiller on my paving stones so don't want to kill off plants with it

Also on a cul de sac which is now clogged up with trucks and chipping machines, I'm guessing I won't be popular round here today.

What i do is try and put it on the trail where the snails go. It has worked quite well so far. I would try the beer trap one, but MR.BOB objects to good beer wastage. I don't like using pellets because of the birds. I have thought of trying crushed egg shells, but reckon that if they can crawl over gravel...a few egg shells will be a walk in the park.

On the paving stones i have used steam from my paper stripper, and hot water. Very good for the bloomin ants as well.:cool:

Sometimes i find them, snails that is.. and crush them, and leave them for a birdie tea time treat.
