Put a clump of Comfrey out of the way in a corner somewhere (because they grow large). Pull the leaves and put them where you want plants protected. The snails prefer the comfrey every time and you can scoop them up. It's good for cuts and scrapes too, promoting healing.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

You make this snail look almost attractive Maria. Lovely pic.
