Homing Snails

 

Just the other day, someone asked me if it was true that if you throw snails out of your back garden, they will come back.

To some extent, it depends on where you throw them: if you live next to a busy 4-lane dual carriageway, then no, they almost definitely won't come back.

If you live next door to someone you don't like very much, and they catch you throwing snails over the fence, they might return to you at high velocity.

But if you just have some open land next to your garden, or a path, perhaps, or some common land, then - brace yourselves - yes. They will come back.

Here is a little anecdote from my own garden.....
