There is (or was) a product that you watered into the soil and

which killed eggs and small slugs/snails


Ummmmm. I live in Holland and the UE regulations prohibit the

selling
of lots of 'chemical nasties'. However I will see what i can find
online or get someone in the UK to smuggle stuff in next time we

have
visitors :~))

Hi Jenny, I think someone has already mentioned Fertisan, you were

concerned
that you may not get it in Holland, If you can't (and its quite

expensive)
it is only Aluminium sulphate, wildly used in the treatment of

drinking
water, so I would imagine you will have no probs getting it by the

kilo. its
very effective indoors

Hi Charlie,
Thanks for the info - I'm off to the chemist to see if I can get some
!!
A couple more questions:
When should I apply it ?
What sort of concentration should I use ?
And will it work on outside pots too ??
