Everything that gardeners love is eaten away by slugs and snails in summer. There are numerous tips to keep the intruders away, from beer traps and copper wires to slug pellets.

Sheep’s wool as a snail blockade

Sheep’s wool to block snails’ access to the vegetables. “The snails don’t like the material and are therefore kept at a distance,”.

The sheep’s wool is placed generously around the stem of the plant. Snails avoid the material.

This is how it works: The wool is simply draped around the stem of the plant. Virgin wool is available at drugstores, for example.

Water canister: protection and greenhouse at the same time
