Snail/Slug damage

Those things are even attacking my cacti !

 

Hopefully he swallowed some spines and is being stabbed internally.

 

I bet you say that to all the boys

 

Slugs and snails have given my onion leaves a good chomping this year ! Never had a problem before and naively thought that onion leaves were not on their menu .
Now I normally lift my onions in early September . I presume the chomped leave ones will be OK just a bit smaller

 

I have often seen the leaves eaten away but never the bulb. The damaged ones are all right but smaller as you say.

 

Used to hear them chomping the onion leaves when I lived in Wales, they decimated them there because of the high rainfall.

Snails have had a pop at my succulent in the greenhouse

 

Interesting questions -
1 - Apart from being part of the food chain , do slugs/snails serve any useful purpose ?
2 - Why the heck do they not eat Dandelions or Mares-tail ! ?

 

Well Harry you have to ask your self this, do we serve any useful purpose on the planet, and why don't we eat Dandelions and Mares tails?

 

You speak for yourself, I drink dandelion coffee and make brass polish out of marestails

 

Try blanching dandelion leaves to make them edible and not bitter. The snails will have the lot away before you do.

 

Coffee comes from the coffee plant, you are just drinking dandelion.
