I spent the day out in the garden and to my horror my little apple tree seems to be dying - the leaves are all curled up and it is covered in snails!! At least 20 of them! I am reluctant to put down slug pellets as my neighbours cat seems to prefer my garden to go to the toilet - another problem! and while I cant stand the cat dont want to harm him either! What should I do - I dont think I can pick them off the tree I really hate them!! About the cat - have used mothballs, citronella spray, repellants from the pet shop and the hardware nothing works - now I am just trying to get grass to grow in his "area" and when its established he will have to go elsewhere! Any ideas?
