Our product featured online this month on the guardians website.

'Slug Gone' is a new product, that works on the hair vest principle. It is made from shoddy, a by-product of the wool industry. It comes as chemical-free pellets, which, when watered, will expand into an itchy mat that slugs and snails fear to cross but which does them no harm. It can be applied around the young winter brassicas if you are planting them out now. The benefits are three-fold. Apart from deterring slugs and snails, it makes an effective water retaining mulch and a cabbage collar. This will thwart pests laying their eggs at the base of plants and the resulting larvae hatching out perfectly positioned to gobble up your crops later on.
