Review: A slug/snail barrier that actually works! - Who would have known that a wool barrier is so uncomfortable for slugs and snails that they won't cross it. I tried these first a few months ago to protect a slug's favourite food - Hostas. I now have several full grown plants that don't have a single hole chewed out of them. Amazing. I haven't used any toxic slug pellets, copper bands (useless anyway), slug pubs or nematodes and the plants are untouched. I've gone on to protect Cosmos, Chilli and sunflower seedlings with equally good results. The good thing is that the product doesn't appear to harm slugs, which are actually good for breaking vegetable matter down in the garden, provided they don't touch the precious things I've spent money and energy on! This is my second purchase and I increased my order to two packs as they'll last me well into next year too. The pellets are very easy to use, just poured around the base of the plant to form a shallow barrier of about 4 inches all round. Then water and see the pellets bind together to form an anti-mollusc wall of woe. They eventually decompose to benefit the surrounding soil, but so far mine are still in place after nearly six months and show no sign of disappearing yet. The pellets do smell of sheep and the farmyard, so I prefer to use gloves to handle them, but there's nothing nasty to cause skin damage. One bag was enough to cover about a dozen pots and three plants in the flowerbed. I've learnt to be a bit more economical with the amount I use for each plant and the new bags should go much further than that. I really do recommend this product strongly.
Review: It does work. - I’d never heard of this until I saw it on gardeners world. We have an annoying slug problem ( as I think most gardens do) and we also have a small dog so slug pellets are out of the question. I really dislike the little blighters ...especially when they have tucked into my Lilly’s and dahlias. I decided to give this stuff a go. You put it around the base of your plant making sure it’s about 6 cm wide. It doesn’t have to be high pile...it’s more about the width. Once you’ve done that you water it and it creates a texture that slugs and snails don’t like to walk ( or slime) on. I have to say it’s been pretty successful. My dahlias have recovered and are getting established. They only downside is after about two weeks the wool becomes less fluffy and not so unattractive to slugs. I did discover a slug trail across the wool in one pot. How dare they! So I reckon you should replenish this after it’s been down a couple of weeks. This does make it quite expensive but I suppose you have to offset that against protecting expensive plants. I would definitely use this again and would probably order a big tub to make it more economical in the long run. As slugs and snails are here to stay I think I will always need to keep a supply of this in the shed. Much better than beer in jam jars and safe for pets too. It does also have some nutrients in so your plants will be doubly happy.

## Features

- ORGANIC SLUG SOLUTION: Vitax Slug Gone is the natural way to keep slugs and snails away from plants. Popular amongst environmentally-conscious and organic gardeners, Slug Gone is 100% natural and made from British wool.
- ADDS NUTRIENTS TO THE SOIL: Slug Gone is applied to the soil below the plant to create a irritating, absorbent mat that works as a natural slug repellent. It prevents slugs and snails from reaching the plant, whilst adding nutrients to the soil and locking in moisture.
- MULTI USE: Suitable for use on fruit, veg and flowers, and in borders, pots, containers and hanging baskets.
- CHEMICAL FREE: Natural, chemical-free Slug Gone wool pellets are the ideal choice for use in family gardens. The pellets are also harmless to birds, bees and wildlife.
- EASY TO USE: To deter slugs and other gastropods, simply lay the pellets around the stems of plants. For best results, add Slug Gone in a 10cm radius around the plant, then add water to cause the fibres to bond.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it kill them or just deter them**
A: The idea is to keep the slugs away from your plants by making it difficult for them , it does not kill them.🌼🌼

**Q: is it animal friendly**
A: Well, I had to put sticks around my hostas to stop my cat from sleeping on it - so I would say its attractive to animals!!  It does smell a bit like an old wet dog when you open the package.  After rain the wooly granules went in to a mat - and the smell evaporated so she isn't so interested!!  I think its safe though as there are no additives like slug pellets.  Hope this helps. PS it also seems to stop the slugs from eating my plants - not 100% but an improvement on things like the anti slug slime.

**Q: Do you have grow bags**
A: we do sell growbags, unfortunately these are for local delivery only. Please feel free to call us on 01276476778 to confirm if you are within our local delivery area.Many thanks

**Q: Can these absorbant pellets also be mixed in containers to help  cut down on watering?**
A: Don’t think so as one of their properties is they’re ‘water resistant’.

### ⭐ Didn’t work for me
*by L***U on 20 June 2023*

I was hopefully this would protect my beautiful black dahlias from the nightly slug onslaught, but alas it hasn’t worked. I applied a very thick and wide border around my plants, watered until the fibres matted together and the slugs doesn’t seem to mind it one bit! I was optimistic at first as for a few days the nibbles were less frequent, but now it’s just as bad as before. Also, I don’t know what I expected but this stuff absolutely stinks! Just in case, like me, you’re not prepared for the whiff and open the bag in your house!! I’m going to have to look to other solutions, perhaps not as slug friendly, which I was trying to avoid. My dahlias are the jewel of my garden and I can’t have them ruined by pesky nibblers!! Worth a try, might work for you, but it’s not something I’ll be buying again.
