Gardening guru reveals little-known hack to defend plants from slugs and snails
Simon Akeroyd says thorny twigs can form a free barrier that may reduce slug damage, and he shared the tip with 824,000 TikTok followers.
- Gardening expert Simon Akeroyd has revealed a free method to protect plants from slugs and snails using thorny twigs. He shared the technique with his 824,000 TikTok followers in a video.
- Comparing the method to barbed wire "just for slugs and snails," Simon suggests the sharp thorns discourage pests from crossing. The barrier is completely free for Brits to implement using garden materials.
- Simon advises viewers to cut lengths of thorny twigs, such as roses or brambles, and place these around plant edges. He claims gardeners can reduce slug damage by creating this physical barrier.
- While this technique helps minimize damage, Simon added, "To be fair, it won't completely stop slug damage." Some pests remain in soil or are impervious to barriers.
- Slugs frequently wreak havoc on gardens, making total elimination difficult. Simon's hack provides a practical, low-cost option for managing these persistent pests and defending plants.
