Last night I went out with my torch and did a slug and snail collection around the chicken feed area and filled a 2 pint container........

I can't bear to hurt any animal so decided to take them to the meadow to release them - the hedgehogs can do that for me...

I hear they do make thier way home so wondering how far I need to take them to be sure they don't get back...?

For snails it's apparently more than 20m ...

Interesting - a particularly horrible neighbour lives that far away..... heh heh

You should have put a spot of paint on top of their shells so you can see if either they make their way back to you or your neighbour has wanged them your way!

Sounds like the voice of experience!

Nope - have no neighbours, but just an interesting experiment to try. You could use different colours and wang them different distances too, then write a paper on it!

I am heartless with slugs and snails. Sorry but I aint sharing my veg.  boot = permanent holiday to devon.

[Oddpod]

Aha! That explains a lot!

I used to go at at dead of night and collect slugs and snails into a bucket and take them for a walk up to the local church yard

Not these days think I've become more hardened as its now a bucket of soapy water...our veg and flowers are too precious for these little beesties to eat our plants.
