Slug Gone Wool Pellets 1 litre
- Vitax 5SLG35, Slug Gone Wool Pellets are a natural, organic way to keep slugs & snails away from plants. These pellets form a highly effective textured barrier. Suitable for organic gardens, Slug Gone pellets are produced from wool & are ideal for using around fruit, flowers & vegetables, & are perfect for use in tubs & baskets. To use, simply lay the pellets on the compost around the stems of plants, & water. Once wetted, the pellets 'self-felt' to form a continuous mat around the stems. The minute fibres in the mat are an irritant to slugs & snails, & the mat also absorbs moisture from the slug’s foot, making it extremely difficult for them to travel across. For best results apply Slug Gone in a 10cm (4 inch) wide band around the base of the plant. The wool pellet mat is also excellent at keeping the surface of pots dry, but retaining the moisture beneath. This means that weeds have difficulty germinating on the surface & frequency of watering is cut down due to reduced evaporation. As an organic material, Slug Gone contains naturally occurring slow release nutrients, & when dug into the soil after use it will help feed plants & improve moisture retention. It is a biodegradable protein fibre which releases nitrogen, potassium, sulphur & other trace elements essential for plant growth.
