Taking the SWIM out of our SNAIL Farm!


The 'base' soil (potting mix) supporting our SNAIL Farm, together with moisture from the food (lettuce etc.) turns the soil to mud. Snail don't like MUD!!!

We came up with a number of possible solutions, we are currently trying a 'wick' solution similar to the way lamps draw burning solution to the flame.

We drilled holes below soil level and fed rope into the farm leaving 30 cms+ of rope outside the farm. This, we hope will draw moisture out of the farm.
