Wool Pellets

[hibou]

I’ve tried the wool pellets this year and they do seem to be working for me. I think only 3 carrots survived from my first sowing, whereas there are no appreciable losses from the later sowings surrounded with wool pellets. I’ve currently got carrot, beetroot, radish and tsoi sim seedlings all looking ok with a barriers of wool all around and no losses to slugs that I can see. Most plants were started off in modules, then planted out with wool pellets round their base. This seems to have worked really well. Only outer leaves of huge lettuces, cabbages and some of the chard has been holed. Damaged leaves are being regularly picked off. Apart from that first row of carrots I’ve had no major losses to slugs yet (touch wood!).
