If you go out at night, with a flashlight, you can see if it's snails
or slugs eating your tomato leaves. There is a new product on the
market, nontoxic, and safe to use around kids and pets. It's basically
an iron phosphate that breaks down into iron and phosphorous in the
garden. It comes under various brand names, I get Garden Safe at
Lowe's. You can google for iron phosphate snails and find our more
info. Or just check out http://www.gardensafe.com
I've been using it all winter and it works very well.
