Have you actually bothered to *try* the gardening group, who will
identify your bush, and your snails, and give advice on what was
going on? If not, why not?

I've plenty of snails, too. They're having a smashing time.

FUs set.

Yawn.

Self appointed moderator/net nanny steps in once more.

Perhaps folks here uk.d-i-y might not want to subscribe to
uk.rec.gardening to follow the thread. (me for one)

If you're not interested don't read it, but you have NO right to censor
anything in this group and have no say in what folks can and can-not
post. Leave that to the majority who will voice their disapproval as and
when required without intervention from a someone who thinks he can
speak on behalf of the masses.

Not at all. Are you a complete 'kin idiot, 'cos you look like
one from your post - that was "constructive advice".

Perhaps it would have been better off started there.

I did not tell him what he could or couldn't post. Your
