I'd always assumed that if they could be squashed and burst releasing liquid that they were eggs, but it sounds like that isn't necessarily the case. I've been removing and discarding some slow release fertiliser as well as slug/snail eggs then. But if you squashed fertiliser granules you'd simply have released the contents into the compost so no problem. Mary Good thinking! If in doubt squish 'em anyway, nothing lost! Well, yes and no. The whole idea is that they are *slow* release, so they nourish the plant right through the season. ;-) We put them into hanging baskets, too. Of course, the plant will still get the benefit of the fertiliser but it will be at once. Personally, I don't find our fertiliser pellets easily squishable but perhaps different makes vary. -- Sachahttp://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' If you have a bird table then put the "Eggs" on the table, if they get eaten then they were eggs, if left then they are fertilizer David Hill |
