@markc568 There's a big difference between snails (with shells) and slugs (the naked ones), and even between species. Most snails are important for soil health and so for your garden.
I'm just writing about it in my article (see "but my garden"): https://steady.page/en/naturematchcuts/posts/28951404-a41f-4215-ab89-bc35dbc41233@NatureMC @markc568 @purplepadma
it depends on if you want a sterile garden or a rich habitat. slugs and snails can be crop pests, especially juveniles, but they're also tasty food for frogs, toads, birds and mammals and break down dead organic matter. -

@sibylle I'm so sorry but the article was already long enough: https://steady.page/en/naturematchcuts/posts/28951404-a41f-4215-ab89-bc35dbc41233
So I didn't write about their methods of repairing but if you have questions, you can ask me here!
@sibylle and perhaps this can help you with informations about shells and shell building: https://www.carnegiemnh.org/science/mollusks/forestcalcium.html @lichtscheu

it was just a placeholder for until i get out of work. but i couldn't wait to comment, said something i could have anticipated was in the article, and acted like an absolute reply guy. you're quite right to point out my bad behaviour
i promise to read, thanks for being forgiving! -

@NatureMC @lichtscheu ha! We also have tigers (limax maximus) on the cat food when it is warmer. Being a night active species they arrive at dusk, and are gone later. I often wonder if they remember where they have all you can eat buffet, or if they are attracted by the smell every evening.

Please don't boost #aislop !
This post went #viral in my timeline. Commentators found the source in a FB slop page, and biologists in the comments tell the facts. The author of the post hasn't yet edited the post for marking that's AI/the source.
People burst into enthusiasm, so little do they know about nature.
And I'll write an article now. About real snails. Facts.
Edit: you can read it here: https://steady.page/en/naturematchcuts/posts/28951404-a41f-4215-ab89-bc35dbc41233@NatureMC Thank you for clearing that up! I saw that post last night, had this moment of "oh my, I can't believe I didn't know this" and was about to click on boost when the doubt set in. It was late and I didn't want to research it instead of going to bed, but I was pretty sure it couldn't be true. When I was a kid I used to gather snails and let them free in the garden after a while. I would have realized if I would have harmed them. The only person harmed was my horrified grandfather.

Thanks for also making me think about snails being invited for snail cake across the path.
