excelsiorfarm: my bro, though i didnt get your question on d local of legumes, i suggest u rephrase d question sir. Let me put a little input, legumes are a class of vegetables. Examples are soybeans, peanuts, beans, surprising locust bean tree is also a legume, leucaena spp(a shrub/tree is a legume). For your snails, watch out for predators e.g. Termites especially
