GARDENING TIPS

If you have a problem with slugs?

The ideal bait for SLUG X is Beer, any type is suitable for this purpose. The slugs, snails are attracted into the trap by the smell of beer coming through the access openings of the trap. A strong beer smell will build up inside the trap, this will put the pests into a state of total confusion and they are then unable to find a way out. Many will rest up in the trap for up to 10 hours before finally going into the wells.

You could saves his eggshells (and others donated), bakes them and crushes them. Sprinkle these all over your beds and slugs and snails go elsewhere.

 

Have you heard about a so called slug fence? It bans slugs and snails from your vegetable patch. The  ‘Hanover slug fence’ is new in the UK and Ireland but well-proven in Germany for many years.
Consists of galvanized metal strips and corner pieces which prevent slugs from entering your vegetable patch or flower bed: The slugs are unable to climb around the double sharp bend at the top of the fence.
It is a modular system that slots together and easy to install.
