Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, start by preparing the target area. Remove all weeds, fallen leaves, and debris from the soil surface around your plants, as slugs can use these to bridge the gap over your barrier. Pour the granules in a continuous, unbroken line; any gaps in the perimeter will allow slugs to bypass the defense. For maintenance, monitor the area after irrigation or rainy weather. If the granules have been buried or washed away, simply top up the line to restore the seal. Always ensure you are covering the full circumference of the plant stem or container edge for maximum protection.
