Successfully trialled at RHS Harlow Carr, Slug Wool is an organic slug barrier and soil conditioner in one. The raw material - reclaimed wool - is extruded to form woollen pellets which create a 12 month biodegradable insulation blanket around plants which also causes irritation to the nerve endings in the slugs foot, persuading them not to cross. Supplied in an easy to store and apply 3.5 ltr tub.

Kitchen Garden magazine reviewed this product in December 2007:
"...The woollen slug pellets offer a natural yet effective way of deterring the number one pest.
The pellets are made from reclaimed material from the wool processing industry and no other materials or chemicals are added, making the pellets 100 per cent natural.
Once wet the pellets form a rough carpet with small needle-like fibres that slugs won't cross. The slugs are physically deterred rather than being killed.
... is also a rich source of nitrogen and an effective mulch and weed suppressant. Being a natural product, it is safe for plants, children, animals and the environment."
