Amy, are you sure it is snails that are mowing? I thought at first
that it was cutworms that were shaving off my seedlings at ground
level, but now I'm not so sure. The organic solutions are different
for snails vs. cutworms. I've seen cutworms in my garden, but never
any snails, though there are occasionally the slime trails... wish
I knew a way to determine for sure. Guess I'll have to go out late
one night with a flashlight...yuck.
