I'm a newbie to gardening- getting better, mind you, but still very new. We have a small veggie garden which seems to be chugging along ok but Ive just noticed that the snails seem to be back... Since I've just planted some snow pea seeds (now seedlings) I really want to beat the snails before they eat them all! Since we are trying to be less damaging to the environment and have a little one who loves the garden, we will be trying all sorts of things to rid our garden of these pests.
Week 1: coffee grinds
The coffee plunger is used every morning, so we tend to have coffee grinds every day. Some websites reckon its a great way to repel the snails, other websites dont think it works. So here we go!
I put the grounds around the seedlings this morning which are in a half barrel.
What other methods should we try?
Egg shells, sandpaper around the bases, diatomaceous earth, beer pools?
What has worked for you? What hasn't? Any suggestions would be great
