Wool really bugs slugs. Sheep get shaved to produce fleeces for the textile industry. Some of the fleeces are too dirty or too matted to be used for clothing. This waste wool is put into an extruding machine and formed into pellets.
You put the pellets on your garden beds.
The slugs hate to crawl over the itchy wool and stay away from your plants.
Nobody gets poisoned, not the cats, the kids or the slugs.
The slugs wander off in a huff to eat some weeds.
The pellets are 100% natural and contain phosphorous, nitrogen and potassium, this is slowly released as the pellets biodegrade, fertilising your plants and providing an effective mulch and compost.
The pellets hold twice their own weight in water.
The sand and grit in the compound and the salt from the sweat glands of the sheep aggravates and irritates the slug's foot so it buggers off somewhere else.
Buying a 10 litre tub is great value, it contains nearly 9kg of slug buggers enough to cover about 3.5 square metres when spread out, because you use it in a circle around the base of plants the area of beds it covers is obviously much greater (I don't know quite how to explain this properly but it goes a long way!)
