Snail Plough
Harness garden snails to do the gardening for you | |
This is a small plough attached to a yoke that sticks to the shells of a team of garden snails. The yoked snail team can then be set loose to wander round the flower bed leaving a neat furrow behind them.
Best deployed in a small area enclosed by the snail-discouraging metallic tape you can get to
put round flowerpots, lest they make a break for freedom and your lettuces...

Most gardeners I know wouldn't classify snails as "harmless," but you'd have to ask them for the gory details. |

Shuck'm if they can't take a yoke. |
