I have many visitors in my garden all summer. Two years ago, I had tremendous visits to the red worms, and last year I had large garden snails. The snail is the largest and most diverse group of mollusks. The snail is often a severe scourge in the vegetable garden. If too many, they cause great damage to vegetables. Vegetables are a source of food, and within a few days, they can destroy everything that we have planted. Stopping the snails is very difficult. We will be helped by their natural enemies (hedgehogs, crows, nurses, etc.). We can drive them out of the garden by planting plants that they do not like, by hand picking, sprinkling substances that destroy the mucous layer and dry them, etc.

Great photo! We have many of them, but we mostly let them do whatever they want.
I do not even destroy them. I take them to the field.
A very good close-up. The heart established with the Grace of God has a good close-up of God’s image.
Thank you very much for seeing and kind comment
Wow you my must have been standing nose to nose to get such a fantastic shot of a usually small snail. I guess we are lucky here: first we do not have a garden thus we have no snails. But we have hares, stray cats, raccoons, squirrels, the occasional deer, birds and of course flies and mosquitoes in the summer time. That is enough for me…
Woow … You have a small zoo. I’m only happy with the snails. It’s better to have snails than mosquitoes ?
Great photo, I rarely see snails.
Thank you, Carol. In my garden, there are many where they do damage ?
That is too bad to hear my friend.
I hope I have found a good solution now. I’ll lay egg shells around the garden.
That is pretty detailed!
I hardly get visits from them, but they do crawl on the pavement after rain and unfortunately…
get stepped on
I agree, after rain, it is worst. I cannot destroy them ?
Woow. What a great picture.
Yes, I also often get several visits from them.
Thank you, Albert. Last year, the snails did quite a bit of damage.
Does that really make you lose much?
No, Albert, there will not be a big loss. I have a small garden so I do not have a big crop. I have a garden for relaxation.
Glad to hear that, Vidocka dear friend. We have the same needs; parks for relaxation.
Do you know that their slime can make your skin nice?
In our country, produced the cream of snail saliva.
yes, good for the skin, they apply it on the face. ?
Like all things, snails bring good and bad. However, your picture is amazine@
I agree, so I do not destroy them. I take pickles and take them to the field.
That is truly fair and kind of you!
Snails are very harmful and annoying … they do a lot of damage
I agree, Lado. Snails ate quite a bit of my salads
My salads also have something to eat
