Gelatinous Octahedrons in my garden

ppfufThey are really more gelatinous blobs.
I've got slime mold. Last night I went out to collect snails (got a half a quart size ziplock, a few of them were very big) and found several colorless blobs. Yuck. I scooped them up and put them in the bag with the snails. Does anybody know how to prevent them from coming back?

Date: 2009-02-25 06:30 pm (UTC)I dislike spraying insecticides on my herb garden, so I pick the snails up, seal them in plastic bags and put them in the trash. Someday, I'm sure, I'll be due for a karmic ass-kicking for making them die in such a horrible way, but for now I want them off my plants. They can live in the ivy, but not the herb garden or the irises.
