We'll try the tin-on-the-ground-with-bait-underneath method, but, across two acres, it'll be spotty.
Also, the coffee grounds around the bottom of plants sounds worth a try.
Slugs we get -- the little nasty toxic ones that even chickens know to leave alone and the slimy flat ones that chickens love to eat.
Chickens won't touch the Giant Snails, except for eggs in cracked ones.
Mostly just wanted to confirm how widespread the snails are and if there were any ideas. Thanks.
Maybe if I drank a beer with the snails and explained how they need to just get on out of my garden and not show their slimy faces around here again?
