utokia Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 (edited) Good call, utokia. That's pretty cheap. I don't know how it compares to other products (it is the mesh type)... but 18m seems like a lot for the money. It seems you usually get 4m for £10 elsewhere, but for 'solid' copper. Check on the lidl website which of your local stores have the gardening stuff in stock at the mo - as they do rotate promotions (altho they also sometimes keep some specials lingering in some stores)... edit: pics of my purchases here: http://www.uk420.com/boards/index.php?showtopic=90536 Edited May 8, 2007 by utokia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m778 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 This is a good online guide for protection against browsers: hxxp://handbooks.btcv.org.uk/handbooks/content/section/3580 Voles are a particular pest and very common in areas of long grass. I suspect much damage attributed to rabbits may come from these little bundles of fun. Make sure the holes in any netting or mesh are small enough to keep them at bay....

Snake Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I just got a book today called "50 ways to protect against slugs" its a very good read i think and contains some good ways to repel the slugs, a trap which involves a grapefruit is brilliant i think!

a_lover_not_a_grower Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 i found that that on chicken wire or rabbit wirenot quite sure, that large snails could not get through the small holes/climb up the thing wire, dont think it stopped small/baby snails though, at least its damage limitation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Deathrow558 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Is Enamelled Copper Wire still ok for stopping slugs or does the enamell stop it from working? Cheers guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aventinusdampf Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 (edited) Is Enamelled Copper Wire still ok for stopping slugs or does the enamell stop it from working?Cheers guys. It doesn't work with isolated wire, it has to be blank. There is a copper spray available tho, I've been told. I use my luck with crushed neem seed. It hardens the plants off and makes them less attractive for slugs and insects. It's a safe, natural product. more on neem here: http://www.uk420.com/boards/index.php?show...=0#entry1001955 Edited June 27, 2007 by aventinusdampf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr white Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I say this all the time but pellets kick the shit outta slugs. You can get organic ones too. You may have to keep applying them though say every few weeks if it rains a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSkunk Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 yeah the pellets work wonders for me too, they sorta fizz the slugs away, with snails you just find empty shells in the morning, with little bubbly crap inside, but i am thinking of investing in some coper tape, as its one less thing to worry bout, instead of dragging yourself to the site every time it rains (which has been way too oftewn lateley) anwyay i am only getting the tape once i got em in their final pots. until then i rely on pellets 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Will slug pellets keep slugs away from my plant? Just a quick question and hope if someone can answer that for me, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSkunk Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 HAHAHA that is their main purpose Nah seriously, use a heavy amount of them if you dont trust em but they most likeely will do the job, chances are it wasnt noir realey slugs that destroyed your last plants, other creepy crawlies and rabbits could be the main problem, also if your really really worried about slugs then get some copper tape as well as pellets, then if your plant gets attacked you can be sue it isnt by slugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blabblabberbab Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Save the planet man! slug pellets are really nasty If you're into more organic ways of growing, try beer traps and similar - at least give them a good time as you kill them ;) B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
