this sounds credible. i took on a friends garden a few years back. at the time it
resembled a building site. full of rubble & burnt mattresses & heaps of glass & scrap
metal & such. we agreed i'd take a couple of veg beds as 'payment'. i've never known
anywhere with such a vast snail population. every step & everywhere you looked - snails.
last year in high summer en masse they ascended the stone walls of the house. out front
& bold - hundreds of snails cooking up there. quite bizarre. i intervened this spring &
halved the populous. & still they're everywhere.
happen there's an un-pc method for raising snails here. get some land, trash it & pick
yr harvest!
