Slugs are becoming an ever-greater threat to gardeners with the recent appearance of species such as the Spanish Slug. Zembra has developed Zlug®, a new natural slug barrier to combat the damage caused by slugs in the garden and in crop fields. The effectiveness of the product, which is fully biodegradable, was shown in trials at the John Innes Centre near Norwich. It acts as a barrier to deter slugs and snails from eating plants and is safe for pets, birds and children. Zlug® is available in 6ltr bags from Amazon and soon in other UK retailers.

Product description: A granular formulation comprising of dried, crushed olive pomace and mixed with a blend of aromatic Mediterranean herbs,

Purpose: To protect garden plants and vegetables from the damage caused by Slugs by creating a 100% natural, non-toxic physical barrier.

Method of Application: Applied as approximately 6cm wide x 2cm deep rings around individual plants, plant pots or rows of seedlings (this equates to roughly 300mls of Zlug for a standard plant, so a 6ltr bag should treat 20 plants).
