Hi Angela, I just pick off the affected leaves. If I'm feeling extra frustrated, I step on those leaves and smush the little devils ;) But otherwise just keep picking them off. Eventually, you will break the breeding cycle. Hope this helps. Jana

  Brussel sprouts, also had a lot of snails but I think I've finally gotten them under control. So now just the miners leaving trails through the leaves. I'm hoping that, because the plant is so big, there won't be a huge impact on its health.
