what do snails eat?

Answer 1

snails will eat almost any broad leaf plant. theyre tough to get rid of once theyve found your garden. some people try a trail of salt around plants or a garden to keep them away. not all that effective if you have a large area to protect. also washes away with rain or watering. ive tried the beer trick near select plants. place beer in a shallow container, like a tuna or pet food can. seems to help a bit. snails and slugs like beer and will downed in it. you can also buy commercial slug and snail repellents. theyre granular pellets, mostly containing calcium, which the snails do not like.

Answer 2

Everything except the weeds it seems. Wanting an organic solution to my snail problem I was told a few years back that they don't like the feel of freshly turned soil. I kept everything regularly turned over and it cut the population down amazingly. They went elsewhere. Another good way of reducing their number is to encourage birds into the garden - you'll find loads of empty shells everywhere if you do. You get a relatively snail free garden and the bird, a full tum.

Answer 3

All your plants if given the opportunity. They come out at night and you will begin to notice shot holes in the leaves of your plants. If not stopped, the entire plant will be skeletonized. And believe me, the baby snails are hard to see..they are tiny but have huge appetites.
