Hi, I have several plants in containers on my patio. I've posted the same question in the container gardening forum but wanted to ask if anyone here had any ideas too. Have you get any techniquest for discouraging snails? Someone gave me a link http://wvwv.essortment.com/gardensnails_rtzd.htmi which has some ideas. Some of them involve chemicals, also some harm the snails. I don't want to use chemicals, and I'd rather not harm the snails - I wondered if anyone here has some ideas? One method suggested is to use soapy water which sounds ok but I wasn't sure whether this would harm the plant? Any ideas gratefully received.

here's some tips: * Pulling the weeds from your garden is something you need to do anyway. As you pull each weed, you remove a potential slug outpost. * Keep all decaying matter cleaned out of your garden beds. While leaves make a good mulch, once they begin to compost they become food and shelter for slugs and snails. * Prune the branches of any shrubs which are laying on the ground. Keep the old leaves and such cleaned out. By doing this you will have destroyed yet another slug haven! * Cultivate your soil regularly to keep the dirt clods broken up, and unearth any slugs which may have burrowed under the surface. * The shaded areas beneath decks can be a slug arena: keep them weed and litter free. * Just about anything can become a slug home. Boards, rocks, pots and other gizmos should be kept out of the garden. * Keep the lawn edges trimmed. Slugs will congregate under the umbrella of unkept grass.

Pour some beer in a glass and place it near the plants with the snails.
The snails will go drink the beer, get drunk and drown in the beer.
Ok, the snails will die, but it's not a bad way to go is it?
