17. Snails? Send some of them snail eaters over!

My experimental cauliflower and broccoli plot is being decimated by snails.

We have visitor ducks, about 5 of them, land in the pool and beg for seeds, but never venture far from the water to look for snails.

As for cats - yep, they wander in and adopt you as their 24/7 on demand feeder servant.
We have one of those here, kills the occasional rat, so I guess he can stay. Not that we have any say in that.
