garlic powder to keep pests away...

I have had more than one person recommend this to me, so I plan to try this out. Anyone else ever heard of garlic powder (not salt) as a way to keep slugs and snails at bay?

 

Hi there. Yes, I've heard of using garlic as a pest control, though not sure how successful it is. There's a company called Aston Horticulture who manufacture it but I think only for organic commercial growers however I have seen their products advertised at www.buzzorganics.co.uk Hope this helps.

 

Thank you. Shall check it out
