[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 424230, member: 1991"] To protect your precious plants form snails, surround the plants with a ring of coffee grounds. Decaf also works, but "full-leaded" is more effective. It's the caffeine in the beans that kills slugs and snails as they try to cross it. Obviously, put the coffee grounds on cold and not hot. It really works! Maybe Malika would like us to send her the snails? Sorry, Malika - maybe I'm being racist. But I do know people who have used garden snails for food. You collect the snails from a pesticide-free garden (coffee grounds don't count) and put them in a breathable container with fresh lettuce leaves for a few days, to purge the snails of any grit in their digestive tract. Personally I haven't been able to do this because I can't stand the process of boiling them. Marg [/QUOTE]
