Killing snail eggs ?
"JennyC" wrote in message ... "Charlie Pridham" wrote "JennyC" wrote 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 Charlie, gardening in Cornwall. 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 ?? Jenny You can apply any time. Someone with Fertisan should be able to give the correct dilution for plants (its years since I used it) I will look for you if I see some this week. It works very well out doors when snails and slugs are active but it has never caught on due to the fact rain renders it ineffective. I have used it to establish Clematis in hard places with lots of snails, you can mix it up and use it in a pressure spray to get into all the nooks and crannies they hide in. -- Charlie, gardening in Cornwall. http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of National Plant Collection of Clematis viticella (cvs) |
