Fighting

  • I fightsnails , collecting them and carrying them out to the wasteland.
  • In addition, I often loosen the soil, as well as remove weeds and trim trees and shrubs.
  • I also sprinkle the soil around the beds with barley chaff or ash (30 g / 1 m²) or powdery superphosphate (about 20 g / 1 m²).
  • AgainstsnailsI also used Pużomor (10 g / m²). He has a grace period of 14 days. I cover the edges of the beds where snails feed with it. Such a procedure should be performed on a clear evening.
