    Snails have been eating mine.  I suggest you do a patrol at dusk to catch the blighters or go out any time and check in all the best hiding places - under foliage, stones, sides and bottoms of pots.....

    do snail pellets work?

    Not for me.  Not on our snails anyway. 

    I gather the perishers up by the pot full at the mo.  used to lob them across the road into the hedgerow but now I've got cross and either stamp on them or chuck them in the pond to entertain the frogs.
