slug gone organic recycled wool slug deterrent

Welcome to Bubble House Worm Farm

Slug Gone is a completely haemless yet effective way of deterring slugs. It is a by-product of the woolen industry. Wool shoddy is the dirty, matted wool from a sheeps bottom. It is put through an extruding machine to make pellets. You sprinkle the pellets around the base of the plants you want to protect and water them in. The pellets swell and mat together forming a barrier. The woolen fibres act like itchy spikes and the salt from the sheep's sweat plus the sand and grit irritate the slug's foot so they bugger off somewhere else. They are completely harmless to birds, kids and pets and as they biodegrade they release nutrients into the soil. They also have great water holding capacity so they reduce the need for watering your plants and are great for using in hanging baskets and pots. In fact they were originally designed as a growth supplement because of all the nutrients they contain.
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.
