Nemaslug Slug Killer

Nemaslug® is the number one wildlife-friendly solution for slugs. Nemaslug® slug killer will not harm children, pets, birds and wildlife. Song birds like thrushes, hedgehogs, frogs, toads and some insects love to feed on slugs and their eggs. These predators have a significant impact on the slug population . But many of the chemicals used in slug pellets can also be toxic to these predators. So if you use them, you run the risk of harming birds and wildlife. There are also increasing concerns about the effects of these chemicals on pets. Nemaslug® kills slugs above and below ground. The nematodes in Nemaslug® are found naturally in the UK and have been approved for use in organic gardening by The Soil Association. Each application will control slugs for up to 6 weeks. To ensure a slug free garden, further applications may be required every 6 weeks. To achieve the most success from the nematodes, apply between March and October when soil temperatures is between 5-30ºC. Mix the Nemaslug® slug killer with water (following the pack instructions) and apply immediately using a watering can or an applicator like the Miracle-Gro Feeder. Make sure the area is moist as this will help the nematodes travel through the ground. Straight after application, water the area well so that the nematodes are washed into the soil. Keep the area well watered for at least two weeks after application.

Directions of Use

Always wear gloves when handling any chemicals or fertilisers.
Keep any stored products away from children and pets.
Then reseal pack and store in a cool dry place.

Firstly, unscrew the feeder from the jar.
Then pour the sachet into the jar.
Fill the jar with water from the tap. Screw the feeder head back onto the jar, click the hose, twist feed/water switch to desired position.
Turn the tap fully on and squeeze the trigger to start feeding. Hold the feeder in the upright position and apply the plant feed evenly, thoroughly wetting the soil around the roots and the foliage.
Finally, for best results, apply Miracle-Gro® soluble food every two weeks from March to September.

Miracle-Gro® All Purpose Soluble Plant Food is based on soluble salts, which are hygroscopic and must be stored in a well-sealed container in a dry location. So, if the container is not properly sealed then moisture can be absorbed from the atmosphere resulting in the product becoming sticky. However this does not affect the quality of the product, although it may make it slightly more difficult to measure. Damp product can be used as recommended without risk to plants to which it is applied.

Nemasys Leatherjacket Killer

Nemasys Leatherjacket Killer -Leatherjackets are the soil-dwelling larvae of the crane fly, more commonly known as Daddy Longlegs. There are many species of Daddy Longlegs, with most appearing in late August or early September. Each adult will lay around 300 eggs. This chemical-free, natural biological solution will rid your lawn of this unwanted visitor quickly. A few weeks after laying, the eggs hatch and the larvae start to feed on the grass roots. Damage to lawns is most obvious between Autumn and Spring. Yellow patches will appear first as the grass struggles to survive without its roots. Often the most obvious sign is bird activity. Leatherjackets make a tasty snack and birds will tear up your lawn looking for these grubs under the surface. Nemasys® Biological Leatherjacket Killer is a natural product containing beneficial nematodes which seek out and kill the larvae. The nematodes then reproduce inside the dead pest and release a new generation of hungry nematodes, which disperse and search for further prey. To achieve the most success from the nematodes, apply at the end of September or early October when the larvae have just emerged. It is important to apply Nemasys® before the soil gets too cold. Mix the Nemasys® with water (following the pack instructions) and apply immediately using a watering can or an applicator such as the Miracle-Gro Feeder. Make sure the lawn is moist and the soil temperature is above 10 degrees centigrade. Straight after application, water the grass well so that the nematodes are washed into the soil. Keep the lawn well watered for at least two weeks after application. If applications is made at any time other than September or October, we would recommend applying a follow up application in September to ensure any newly hatched grubs are also eradicated.

Sedum Flat Roof Kit

Sedum Green Roof Kit for Flat Roofs

If you have a sloping roof of 3 degrees, then please take a look at our Pitched Roof Kits. There you can find a range of green roof kits that are perfectly suited to your sloping roof. Green Roofing is becoming more and more mainstream. Architects, garden designers, property developers and householders are working to improve eco-efficiency and to combat the effects of climate change. There are a plethora of benefits associated with a green or sedum roof, not least that it creates a real talking point. Enviromat®’s green roof kit comes with everything you need to turn your standard, dull space into a delightful green roof, full of plants and flowers. Within the kit there are several components. First of all, is a root barrier to make sure the plants cannot damage your waterproofing. Next comes a layer of specially engineered drainage mat to protect against damage to the sedum roof and building. This is because green roof sedums dislike wet conditions. This matting ensures that excess water is wicked away from the roots, keeping your flat green roof secure and healthy. Last but by no means least is your Enviromat® sedum roof. A pre-grown green roof mat consisting of a carrier fleece for easy handling, specially formulated growing medium and of course, sedum plants. Plant coverage is at least 95%, so from the moment your Enviromat® is unrolled, your roof is fully planted. We’re very proud of Enviromat® and hope you’ll like it as much as we do. It’s grown out of doors, in the UK, so has a low carbon footprint and is well adapted to our climate. There’s a lovely mix of plant species and it flowers merrily for at least 6 months of the year. The patented carrier fleece contains recycled materials that hold the growing medium permanently in place. That means minimal substrate loss during the handling process, less fiddling about and less slippage once the blankets are in situ. Sedums plants are very easy to care for. They cope well with drought conditions. So once established they will only need a very occasional watering in extremely dry weather. Feeding is important though. Please be sure to apply a specialist sedum feed every spring.

Before you begin

Your roof must have a load bearing capacity of at least 120Kg per square metre in order to install a flat green roof through Enviromat®. Please note that this includes the weight of live loading, - a person walking on the roof in order to install the flat green roof or carry out maintenance. It is important to note that your Enviromat® green roof build-up does not double as waterproofing. Please ensure that your roof is fully waterproofed before adding your Sedum Roof Kit for Flat Roofs. After you have waterproofed your roof and made sure that it can withstand the necessary weight, you can move on to install your new Enviromat® flat green roof. Drainage for every flat green roof should be efficient, to ensure that there is no excess moisture and water build up. If rainwater sits in puddles on your roof for any length of time, please seek professional advice before adding your green roof build-up. Every green roof needs an edging to protect against wind uplift and dried out plants. You can purchase proprietary green roof edging, you can make it yourself or you can take advantage of an existing roof upstand. If you need advice on how to do this, please email the Turfonline Team. This link leads to a useful “how to install your green roof” video. (please note that water retention matting mentioned is now an integral part of the Enviromat® product) Enviromat® green roof installation video.

Order enough..and then some

Order enough and then some - With the season on the point of kicking off – although there was snow this morning - we have had a spate of enquiries and orders recently for turf and wildflower turf. This is a good thing, but I think I should add in a bit of advice. Firstly, please, please, please measure very carefully. Make sure that you have added in at least 5% extra to cover all the edges and extra bits that you will need. Our website has a turf calculator to help you work out exactly how much you will need. BUT, and it’s a big BUT – please remember that it is always better to have some turf left over rather than having to order more. Our turf is delivered on pallets so having to order extra turf as a new order will mean new harvest, new transport and a new delivery cost. Adding an extra roll of turf to your order to make sure you have enough is always going to be cheaper than having to order more. Adding an extra roll is always going to be more cost-effective. Otherwise, all the usual rules apply – please lay your turf on the day it arrives. If you’re working with wildflower turf, it’s a lot easier with two people and please focus on watering once your turf is down. Wee can help with all of these – there are tools here on the website to help along with advice on looking after your new lawn or Meadowmat wildflower meadow.
