William,
thank you so much for your input.
I am not comfortable with commercial snail/slug bait, as the product available here is poisonous to pets as well (my friend/neighbour is a Vet Md.), but I will try the beer trap.
Google is amazing: it translated from swedish to spanish (if you don't ask for perfection, it's OK - it's 'understandable'. Unfortunately, such traps are not available here, so I will go down to the village tomorrow an buy some beer. I don't mind the smell - these boxes are far from my cabin and from my usual working places.
Regarding watering, I MUST do it in the afternoon, to give the plants the chance to recover from a hot day and get prepared for the next. There was almost no transition from winter to heat. Until the last days of Oct. I had to heat the house on the evening/night. Today, we had 33°C and it will soon get worst.
I do look under the trays and always find snails.
It is kind of discouraging when you have to fight rabbits, other rodents, cows and now slugs and snails, but when you see the beauty of the Lilium flowers (and sometimes smell the scent), courage jumps back on you!
Thanks for being there!
