Love and adore hostas and Snow-on-the-Mountain in Vista,CA ; but, I’m in a never ending war with snails. Help!

Question

I bring hostas & snow on the mountain back from my home in Michigan every summer and work hard to protect them, but the snails just get around my egg shells, across my copper scrubbers. Chemical weed killers give relief until watered. Is there a way to stop them???

Thank you!
Patricia

There is nothing worse then finding your plants eaten by Slugs and Snails.
Some years can be worse than others.
I am listing several articles for more possible ways to help you.
