My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Snails and slugs

15 years ago

Grrrrr....

This question is probably in the realm of "why does the dog always puke on the area rug, not the tile floor?", but...

Why the heck don't the stinkin' snails and slugs eat the weeds?

Any suggestions on snail-resistant plants? Other than the weeds, that is.
