Does Garlic Really Repel Snails? London Gardener's Experiment Yields Surprising Results

London Gardener Tests Garlic's Effectiveness Against Snails. A London-based gardener, Emma, recently conducted a small experiment to test the common belief that garlic repels snails and slugs. She placed several cloves of homegrown garlic near a snail she named Horatio. In a short video posted online, Emma observes Horatio's behavior. "He seems to quite like it," she comments in the video, as Horatio shows no signs of being deterred by the garlic's scent. While the experiment is small-scale, it highlights the importance of testing common gardening tips before applying them. Further research is needed to determine the effectiveness of garlic as a snail repellent. Meanwhile, Emma continues her gardening journey, sharing her experiences and findings with her followers.
