    Default Need Help with Snails

    Looking for remedies to eliminate small snails from three plants. These plants are sending out new roots, and the snails are nibbling the root tips off before they get an inch long. I have tried metaldehyde pellets with little success, and I have been using the "cucumber slice method" with some success, but it doesn't appear I am getting them all.

    Any help is appreciated!
