Well Garden work is not my cup of tea either, but my garden is big, so there is room  for the snails too :-)))
I love flowers, so I just HAVE to work in the garden to get some. DARN !  :) Slugs and snails are not the biggest problem in my garden. The roes are. They eat much more than the slugs. My veggies my pelargonias, berries, lilac... and much more. But i still love them and often Magnus screem them out---that is if he doesnt SLEEEPP. LOL Lazy doggie.
