growing-success-advanced-slug-killer
growing-success-advanced-slug-killer was £4.49 now £3.99
Revolutionary new Slug Killer that outdates all other slug control. This is a bait which can be used around children, pets and wildlife as it only targets Slugs and Snails.Growing Success Advanced Slug Killer is a truly ‘advanced’ Slug Killer completely out dating all Slug killers of the past. It will only kill and snails, and will not harm children, pets, birds, animals or wildlife etc. if used as directed. This product has already enjoyed overwhelming success in Europe and America.IN GENUINE TRIALS THIS ADVANCED SLUG KILLER WAS EFFECTIVE SEVERAL WEEKS IN BOTH DRY AND RAINY WEATHER CONDITIONS. It will only kill slugs and snails. There is no secondary poisoning of birds or hedgehogs etc. and they are completely safe even if they eat the pellets so long as the product has been used as directed. It is based on ferrous phosphate (iron phosphate – which is an organic compound) plus a bait, thus making it attractive to slugs and snails. The slugs and snails are attracted to the bait, ingest the pellets and then crawl away to die, leaving no dead slugs or snails around and no unsightly slime. Any bait not eaten breaks down rapidly to iron and phosphate nutrients as part of garden soil.It can be used safely around ornamentals, fruits and vegetables

Position: full sunSoil: fertile, well-drained soilRate of growth: averageFlowering period: Apr-MayFlower colour: purple-blackOther features: excellent cut-flowersHardiness: fully hardyBulb size: 12+ These are probably the best loved of the deep purple tulips. Their velvety, dark maroon, single, cup-shaped flowers on straight stems in May are stunning, so they do deserve their acclaim. The almost-black tulips work well in a ‘bruised’ coloured border, planted between other plum-coloured flowers and foliage plants. Shown here photographed with tulip ‘Shirley’Garden care: In September to December plant bulbs 15-20cm deep and 10-15cm apart in fertile, well-drained soil. Alternatively, allow 7-9 bulbs per 30cm sq. After flowering dead-head and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser each week for the first month. Once the foliage has died down naturally lift the bulbs and store in a cool greenhouse.
