I just learned about Hostas yesterday in an Appalachian video. Evidently, the shoots, leaves, and flowers are all edible and the shoots taste similar to asparagus. Hostas were originally classified in the Lily family, but have recently been reclassified as part of the asparagus family so that makes sense they would taste similar. Several cooking videos are on RUclips now. I'm in So. Texas so I'm chkg on heat tolerant varieties. There seem to be a few that can handle a warmer climate and more sun.
Copper rings apparently work well, but I've hand no luck with egg shells. Beer traps are effective, but I have a very excitable dog who loves to try out anything that smells good. I'll be trying the copper rings.

To deer they sure are edible!
They are easy to divide, when they are about 3 inches up, or a little higher.
The eggshells at the base is a myth. It’s best to use diatomaceous earth for snails.
OR SALT THE EARTH FULL BIBLICAL STYLE
well… it’s also kill the hosta but the snails will be gone as well lmao
I save my shells and grind them down and place under and around plants for snails and slugs plus the benefit of calcium for the plants.
hello , i have one in a 6"pot, will it still bloom flowers.😊 thanks.
It should! Happy Gardening!
Yes it will and feed it some good fertilizer
Nice
What kind of fertilizer to used on it?
👏
If that ventricosa has white flowers as you say it isn't ventricosa.
hello what about the Samuria
Try Banana peels chopped up will kill the snails
Thanks I will try that too
@@BabyGirl-nb9kk As I understand, banana peels will actually attract slugs :o(
Snails are eating my poor Hostas eating well too cause there gat hmm
try putting broken up eggs shells around the bottom of the plants.. diatomaceous earth works well too....they won't crawl across either one
