So i really don't think any snail could get through my barrier of Steel Wool. I just unrolled a few and put them around the bottom of each trunk. I really thought they would be covered as it rained like crazy last night and this is whats bringing them out. Last year i had like one snailbut its rain so much this year its just making them come outta the ground and reign terror on my plants. I really think this will work and was surprised it didn't come up with my goggle. After the rain gets under control il be fine as keeping the plants healthy will detour the bugs away and a bit of soapy water works well for the leafhopper's. But comparing the steel wool to sand paper is a joke as if they just touch this stuff they will get injured. When i unrolled the stuff it was poking my hands as its a rough gauge type. I was able to wrap it around the the bottoms of the plants that were being attacked. This week the rain is going to not be as bad, in fact its not supposed to rain all week:thumbsup:

I just wrapped it tightly around them, using my home made weeding stick and punched it into the ground so they cant get under it. And even if they would, there is no way that they would reach the plants before they would get an injury or two, or nine I called wally world and the dude told me the 7dust wouldn't kill them anyway, but thats what i was going to get, if it worked for snails. They had nothing at all for snails, so that just tells ya how many people are having problems with them.

The last two pics were taken 1 hour an 45 minutes of each other, the first being what i saw when i was out to check them this morning. The second was taken after i got the steel wool around the plants. Amazing how they turn around. Had a bad storm last night and the 5 gal plant isn't rooted well enough so every time i get a wind storm it blows over. I am going to add a bit of soil to it and mound it up so it will root better. Just thought id show how fast they can recover.
