Re: "Is something eating your plants?"
I had trouble with snails, so I ran two strips of copper tape around the planters and put a few volts across those from a solar trickle-charged battery. Worked great. The world's tiniest electric fence - no snail would cross. It lasted for a year before the tape corroded, so if I built it again I'd use something more durable.

And I won't be building it again, because saving my lettuce from the snails just left more for the leaf miners!
Only one pest is allowed to eat my lettuce: Me.
