SNAILS IN THE GARDEN ONCE AND TODAY

Before we shoot with a "cannon", we have to figure out what led to these animals making our lives so difficult in the garden.

On the one hand, the Spanish slugs ( slug or csupaszcsigák ) food shipments to Austria were in the last century, 60 years, with rainy summers due to the spread and multiplied, and soon appeared at us.

On the other hand, experience shows that the care of gardens has changed significantly in the last decade. Earlier, it was customary to keep hens in agricultural farms and gardens - and as a "last guest", it was possible to clean the garden in the autumn: snails and small snails belonged to their gourmets. of course you have to equip and nurture.

NATURAL ENEMIES OF SNAILS

• The foliage left under hedges and flower shrubs provides a hiding place for our futures, which is a big snail shovel.
• The cut branches remain on the edges of the garden - the hedgehog can hide there.
• Consistent collection of unpleasant mucus in the evenings and in the morning is not only good exercise but also the best prevention.
