FAQs

Can I use these for established plants?

These are designed for individual young plants. If a plant has grown beyond the 19cm diameter, it may no longer fit inside the collar.

Do I need to bury the collar deep?

We recommend pushing the base 2-3cm into the soil to create a tight seal that prevents pests from crawling under the unit.

Are these made of breakable material?

They are made of durable plastic designed to withstand outdoor conditions, but they should be handled with care to avoid cracking in freezing temperatures.

Will these harm the slugs?

No, the design is strictly a physical barrier that prevents access; it does not harm or kill the pests.

Are they effective against snails as well as slugs?

Yes, the angled lip is effective at preventing both slugs and snails from climbing over the edge.

Troubleshooting

Slugs are still getting to the plant

Ensure the collar is pushed deep enough into the soil so there are no gaps underneath the bottom edge.

The collar keeps falling over

Pack the soil firmly around the base of the collar to provide better stability against wind.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Non-toxic and chemical-free pest control
  • Acts as a protective shelter against wind
  • Durable and reusable year after year
  • Easy to install in most garden soil types

Cons

  • Limited to individual plant protection
  • May be less effective in extremely loose or sandy soil
  • Not suitable for large, bushy plants that outgrow the 19cm diameter

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward: center the collar around your seedling and press the ring firmly into the soil until the bottom edge is submerged. Ensure the ground is level for the best seal against the soil surface.

Compatibility: These collars are specifically designed for individual vegetable plants. They are most effective when applied at the time of transplanting.

Care Instructions: After the growing season, remove the collars from the garden. Wash them with mild soap and water to remove soil residue. Store them in a dry shed or garage to prevent UV degradation and to keep them ready for the following spring.
