I don't subscribe to the soil treatment idea. This is because snails grow everyday in the wild untreated soil. They grow and do very well without any soil treatment and in spite of millions of ants in the bush. Can someone justify the idea of treating soil please?

Wild snails don't stay in one place, they wander throughout their life in the wild. I'm very sure by this, they should bypass almost every danger to come their way. Ones that would be rear in one place, they don't have enough space to run for their predator. Is like you tie them to one place, once insects and other predators know that they are there, they must come for them.

no, just pour rushing water on all of them and remove immediately, the dirt comes off easily.

yes Hen layers marsh with a mix of calcium powder. It’s just a supplement so their shell can grow fast and strong

i just started the farm so I can’t say… I bought the feed 2500/5kg from the farmer, tho it might be cheaper in the market. I’m still a novice in this, you should contact professionals if you want to go commercial.

I believe tarp with secrete heat. School me please…. Tho I already ordered shaded net on aliexpress. It’s still on transit

I think it should be fine even with the transparent trap since the place is not air tight.

Either way you want the place to always be moist adding plants is a good look to provide shade.

Maybe even adding some sort of system to provide a mist of water

After 5 years of procrastination, I finally decided to take action today.

Good day my people, please follow on my snail farming journey. I will be building a mini green house for my snails but first and foremost I will be planting some vegetables and crops before introducing the snails.

Follow me as I construct the green house.

Interesting.

I recently acquired on plot of land and my initial plan was to train snails on it though I have decided to go with turkeys instead.

You are now making me rethink my decision.

Maybe I will also do a mini snail farm on the side and see how it goes

Well done sir.

Your progress is inspiring. I started a small snail garden about 2 months ago using 2 tyres and wild snails. Although I don't have time to maintain them (24 snails), I still feed them with lettuce & bell peppers left over from the farm.

From your post, I learnt they need calcium supplement. I might crush some egg shells and feed them with it.

Great work. Maybe I should start a thread on vegetable cultivation
