I've been reading on another forum about spraying slugs and snails with diluted ammonia. I'm planning to try it, due to curiosity about how well it works. The ammonia that doesn't land on gastropods just acts as a foliar feed, apparently.

I've got both - in all sizes. The Phlox which has been cut back in the last week was covered with small snails! I've never seen so many.

Vast cities of them. I hope they make good fertiliser after I squish them. I suspect the French mainly eat them as a form of gardeners' revenge.

They just keep right on multiplying here.
