Make your garden less attractive to slugs and snails
The good news is that slugs and snails aren't as attracted to a Planty Garden. They like traditional gardens a lot better.
But. If you live in a true snail zone, that won't help much.

That's thanks to a few aspects of the Planty system:
Everything mixed together

The smell of the plants they hate acts as a deterrent. So they won't be as interested in your garden box.
Snails smell extremely well
So, plant some fragrant things in your garden box that they hate: like mint, fennel, geraniums, garlic, thyme, marigolds, and foxglove.

So, spray their favorite plants with something that they think stinks:

Dry surfaces and rough terrain
But if it rains a lot, you've lost your advantage.
You can also make the area around your garden boxes less accessible to critters.
Our garden boxes have wood chips all around them. That helps - a little.


Keep an eye on your plants
That's how you check on each individual plant. And can spot snails quickly.
But again, it rains for weeks, you lose the advantage. You skip the watering and the snails enjoy all the wetness.
Lucky for you, the app helps you remember to go snail hunting 😉
Spot the snail
Where to look? Slugs and snails hide in the dark during the day. They like out-of-the way, damp places.

Keep it clean
So you'll want to get rid of yellow and shriveled leaves right away.
