After taking some advice, I have been popping today's collection
of slugs and snails, collected while weeding, into a bucket of
salty water to kill them.

But now what?

A silly question perhaps but what do people do with the resultant
carnage? Pour it down the drain?

compost heap?


I do not have a compost heap. Unfortunately I do not have the room
nor do I have the waste to put on it as I have a relatively small
garden with no grass.

Just a couple beds and lots of pots. :-)

bury them!

It is the saltiness of the water rather than the bodies that is
causing me concern - would it be ok to pour that on to my garden?
NO! Not on your garden. The salt will kill everything in sight. I'd
say a street drain............but that's illegal, so I didn't say it

So next time, use boiling water :-))

But salt them after cooking

Drain contents over sink (that's legal) flash-fry in garlic butter. Now the
tricky bit - do you 'ave any French neighbours?
