Slug Copper Tape - certainly a favourite in the Kitchen Garden where I have used it around pots, planters, etc. and this time I'm trying it out on our new garden obelisks to fend the predators off my beans.

Slug Rings - Effective for small seedlings when planting out. Ensure your beds are well worked with level soil for the best effect.

Slug Buggers have been used around plants and appears effective with regular applications from time to time.  I will keep you advised of this trial.

Seaweed Feed - a very good 'all round' solution to feeding plants in the garden and something I feel needs commending.  I shall be recommending more of these types of feeds to our New Products team.

Similarly, the Garlic spray is another stalwart - it benefits both the plants and deters pests.  I have noticed a reduction in the pest population in the garden compared to last season.  I have noticed that a lot of gardening experts are now extolling the virtues of these products.

Mini Raised Beds/Covers and Liners - Terrific products but with one proviso - use proper anchoring system pegs and protect against gusts of wind.

Mini Greenhouse - I set up this (soon to be new product) recently and it's a very handy size to fit on the raised beds.  Currently on trial in the Basil bed. I'll recommend it for our next catalogue.

The Organic Vegetable Grow Bags as endorsed by top vegetable grower and Chelsea multi Gold Medallist, Medwyn Williams, have done extremely well. I have grown tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, and a salad mix. I'll keep you advised with yields and you can see my results from the photographs taken on the patio:

Well, I shall carry on testing and keep you up to date in the coming months. Best wishes...
