Re: Help somethings eating my tomatoes and its not me!

I had the same problem and since I've put down snail pellets around the 
plants I haven't had any more holes in the tomatoes.  If you don't want 
to use pellets, I've heard that putting down beer in a saucer/aluminum 
pie plate is effective.  The snails crawl in, drink the beer and can't 
get out.  My husband says "No Way" is he going to share his beer with 
anything that eats his tomatoes.
