I do that!! mainly in the hope the snails will eat all his weeds!!!

My neighbour has only done bits of his garden a handful of times in the 14 years i have lived here.

I have been throwing snails over the fence for years, when we first moved here we had several ducks living in the garden and they use to eat them, the ducks have moved on or someone ate them.

If they say to chuck them that far, not surprising they don't come back ... smash their poor little shells, rather cruel to do that ... ?
