Yes, the pellets are made from natural wool and contain no chemical additives, making them safe for use in gardens visited by pets.
For best results, aim for a barrier that is at least 3cm wide and deep enough to form a solid mat once watered.
Absolutely; these pellets are designed to be safe for use around edible crops.
Reapplication depends on weather conditions. Check your barriers after heavy rain or if you notice the mat has significantly thinned out.
The wool is natural and neutral; it will break down gradually without significantly altering the pH balance of your garden soil.
Check for gaps in the perimeter and ensure you have applied a thick enough layer for the pests to encounter.
During heavy rain, the barrier may shift. Re-apply a fresh layer once the soil has drained slightly.
To set up your garden protection, start by weeding the area around your plants to ensure the barrier sits directly on the soil. Spread the pellets evenly, taking care to avoid burying the plant stems directly. These pellets are highly compatible with most garden environments, including borders, greenhouses, and outdoor pots. To care for your garden during the use of this product, monitor moisture levels; if the wool appears dry and brittle for an extended period, a light misting will help keep the barrier dense. At the end of the season, simply rake the remaining fibers into the soil to act as a mild conditioner.
