• Line hanging baskets – easily cut to shape, use it to line hanging baskets.
• As a mulch to suppress weeds and retain water – great for covering larger areas PLUS it is easily cut to size so it is ideal for mulching borders cut into awkward shapes.
• Use it to protect plants in borders from winter weather or why not wrap pots in wool to protect them from freezing conditions.
• Wool matting can also be used as capillary matting in greenhouses / garden – stand your plants on this wool matting and instead of water just running away, it is soaked up and then the post can reabsorb it.
• Why not try sowing seeds onto wool matting – simply germinate the seeds on damp wool matting and when ready, cut the matting up and plant on!

Most slug traps use beer as an attractant, but this trap comes complete with a powdered bait instead. Use this baited trap to protect plants in borders / vegetable garden – simply sink into position and then add the bait. Slugs AND snails can enter through the large aperture, but cannot get out. Its large capacity means it does not need emptying too often – just tip the contents onto the compost heap. We know that some of you don’t like using beer in traps, so this trap comes complete with it’s own environmentally-friendly bait. Mix the bait with fruit juice or water and the trap will attract snails and slugs – so no more beer! This trap is easy to use, needs no maintenance and is very discreet once in position. Comes complete with bait and additional bait is available separately, so the trap can be re-used time and time again.

Slug and Cabbage Collars are impregnated with copper to repel slugs and snails, they will also protect brassicas from cabbage root fly PLUS these collars act as a mulch reducing soil moisture loss and suppressing weeds. The female cabbage root fly lay eggs in the soil close to the brassica plant. The egg hatches and the larvae eat the finer roots leaving only a rotting stump. With a collar in place, the female lays eggs on that instead of the soil, so the larvae cannot eat the plants roots. Slug and Cabbage Collars are available in 12.5cm.

N.B.
