Try not to borrow soil by the river. The river is the favorite place for snails because it is close to the water. Take the soil back, it is best to spread it out in the sun for five or six days, and burn most of the pests inside with ultraviolet light and high temperature. If you want to hurry up, it is suggested to burn a pot of boiling water to iron the soil before planting vegetables. This method is suitable for those vegetable gardens that are not harmed by snails. If snails already exist, the following methods can only be used.

2. plant ash

Sprinkle dry and pure plant ash on the stems and leaves of melons and vegetables at night. If the stems and leaves are dry, spray some clear water to make the leaves wet before laying them, so that snails will not climb on the stems and leaves to bite.

3. quicklime

When the soil is dry, spread a layer of quicklime around the vegetables, with a thickness of about 3 ~ 5 mm and a width of 40 ~ 50 cm. Snails that harm crops will be salted to death by quicklime powder after passing through it. Remember to remove excess quicklime afterwards, so as to avoid excessive quicklime from accidentally injuring your vegetables.

Step 4 weed frequently

Weeds are often removed, and places where snails can live, such as stones and sundries on the edge of the ground, are thoroughly cleaned, which can reduce humidity, reduce snail hiding places and worsen snail habitat.

5. Turn over the soil frequently

If you have nothing to do, turn over the soil, especially in late spring and early summer, and let the snails turn into snail eggs exposed on the soil surface and die in the sun. Farming in winter and spring can expose some adult snails, young snails and eggs to the ground and freeze to death or be pecked by natural enemies.

Step 6 trap

Make use of the characteristics of snails, accumulate large vegetable leaves or fresh haystacks outside the planting area for trapping (it is best to mix certain pesticides), and then concentrate on killing snails.

Step 7 grab it with your hands

Although I hate to admit it, this method is really effective, especially if there are not too many snails in your garden, it is easy to catch many snails on the soil and plants in the early morning or in rainy days, just remember to destroy them centrally!
