Anyone from California having problems with snails/slugs?  
The rains have caused the devils to get into my beautiful plants and start eating them! Any recommendations?

Check for biocontrol for slugs and snails. In some countries you can buy nematodes or granules that kills the snails. 🐌

Try mixing water with apple cider vinegar in a spray bottle, and spraying it on your plants. Spray it only at the base of the plant, not the leaves, as it can cause wilting when sprayed on the leaves. When you fill the bottle, it must be mostly water, and only 2 - 3 inches of it is Apple Cider Vinegar. You can spray the slugs with a high concentration of Apple Cider Vinegar, but because it is so high, you don’t want to spray the plants, it can kill them. If you have dirt build up on the leaves of your plants, it can affect the plants growth and photosynthesis, Mix only a small amount of Apple Cider Vinegar with water, and then soak a soft cloth in it, squeeze it, and gently start wiping down all of the leaves. Hope this help’s!
