What is in the container for a mulch? I thought you said lambs wool? The bottle spray is just garlic boiled? I’ve never had a pet hedgehog before but if I can keep it from running off I’m ready. The snails are horrific and clearly the slugs like certain hostas. They are invading my garden
I was just thinking how I can protect my hostas this year as they start of beautiful but get ravaged by slugs - and you tube must have read my mind because you popped up. I am now going into my kitchen and boiling garlic . Thankyou
Brilliant I have some beautiful hostas and the slugs have had a good go at them so will be using your great tips keep up the good work. I have some in pots and some in the garden.
Further tips: 1. place beer in a shallow container partially dug in. Snails love beer. 2. Buy in a garden shop copper tape and wrap it around your pots. Snails and slugs will not climb over it. It is not cheap but will work an entire season.
A tip from TV programme is to put mesh over the drainage hole then add the crockery to stop slugs entering from drainage hole. Also put sharp grip around hosta. Finally a garlic spray once a week and after if rains.
Enjoying your videos Joe. I purchased a tree fern earlier this year - so was interested your winter protection method. I have heard of the garlic prevention of slugs and will try that too.
I live in Canada and we dont have any Hedgehogs sorry to say they are so cute. I use crushed up egg shells the slugs get all cut up trying to go over them.
Hi thank you for the handy tips,but I’m afraid hedgehogs only eat a very small proportion of slugs when they are very very hungry. Slugs carry parasites that make hedgehogs very ill. They are certainly great to have living in our gardens but best to leave them as undisturbed as possible. Just leave out water and perhaps a shallow dish of chicken kitten biscuits and overgrown areas of the garden to encourage our wildlife and they will repay you.
Sadly Jo the sheep’s wool product has been changed & doesn't smell as strong as it used to & Im afraid it hasn’t worked for me this year. I’ve been using it for several years now but this year it definitely doesn’t smell as bad. Maybe S & S’s have noses? 😏
Hi Joe, I don't have slugs and Snails in my garden but still my Hostas get devoured by something.Is there a Beatle or something else that is causing the problem ? Thanks
Hedgehogs you say! Wow... I hope you make a video about them. All kind of questions I got. Is they safe to be around? Do they bite like wild Tasmanian? How about rabies, disease, etc.? Do they chew up any garden plants. Subscribed and enjoying..!
Hi. As far I am aware they are not dangerous but should be protected as they are endangered species. They do like to eat slugs and snails as well as dog food.Thank you for your question and subscribing. Hope that helps.
Your channel came up while doing a search for slugs on maidenhair ferns. I'm in AU so I hope I can get some of these pellets? They've wiped out all the baby leaves sprouting. :((
Thank you pina for watching my video. Hope you enjoyed it. Slug pellets can seriously harm hedgehogs if the hedgehog happens to eat a Slug or snail that had been poisoned. Hope that helps. Kind regards Joe's garden
Hedgehogs, a small prickly animal here in uk, they absolutely love slugs 😋. I spread homemade salty vaseline on my pots once a month to stop slugs & snails 100%

Best of luck with your hostas this year!
Your phone might have overheard you talking about it. That happens to me.

Brilliant Joe! 🏴
Thanks for the kind words!
Fabulous advice joe …

Awesome!! You're plants are lovely! Thanks Joe!
Thank you for the ideas!
Great advice, thank you.

I could not understand what you said about hedgehogs Joe.

Hi Sally
Thank you for watching my video.
I hope the garlic treatment works for you.
Kind regards
Joe
Best deterrent is copper tape around the pot. Works every time !!
How do you use the copper tape can you tell me how to do it
I live in Canada and we dont have any Hedgehogs sorry to say they are so cute. I use crushed up egg shells the slugs get all cut up trying to go over them.
Where can slug pellets be purchased ?
Thank you.`🌸
I'm putting valsaline on pots thick, then double tape with salt.
DOES THAT WORK??? I THOUGHT ABOUT THAT FOR THE ANTS
Great but how do you get hedge hogs

You have to put salt on double tape and put it on the flowerpot
That's sick

Hi Paul, without seeing it, I'd suspect that slugs and snails could potentially have laid eggs in the soil in the previous season.

@RJSoftware200 they’re only dangerous for slugs, snails and worms.

Mine to
But what if you have slugs in your plant pots but the plant is to big to find out 😮
If the hedgehog ate a slug or snail that had gone over those slug pellets- would it poison the hedgehog?
Thank you pina for watching my video.
Hope you enjoyed it.

Yes it would!
Wait what was the last tip???

Hostas in a pot just stand the pot in a tray of water because slugs can’t swim
Would this attract mosquitoes though? I live in Massachusetts & they are attracted to standing water. Don't know about other climates.

They should sell Hedgehogs at Garden Centres!
