As a lifelong entomologist and an independent advisor on environmentally safe plant pest control, I find it very encouraging that PlantGrow are able to produce effective naturally-sourced products for plant care that provide the market with environmentally safer alternatives to commonly used synthetic chemical-based products.

Aware that PlantGrow’s products are all derived from natural and sustainable sources, utilising plant materials that have been composted by anaerobic digestion, means that these products will be compatible within a balanced garden ecosystem and won’t have any detrimental effects on the function of its essential natural food webs.

In addition to producing plant feeds containing only natural nutrients and soil microbes, I was very pleased to know that PlantGrow had also created a slug and snail barrier product, which is also derived from plant material and is used as a physical barrier around susceptible plants, to protect them from feeding damage without harming the molluscs. This enables slugs and snails to reman as an important food source for many important creatures that should also be living within our gardens, from ground beetles, to frogs, toads and hedgehogs.
