It is the only screw means which is safe for other animals. However, there may be a maximum of four times applied to the surface, as the product information on the package. After breitwürfigen spreading the grain across the border, it is worthwhile to cast the surface, so that the grain sources. It is also useful to previously durchzuhacken the surface fine, so that the earth is beautiful and fine grain does not disappear between gaps and cracks and so can not act. Accidentally I've thrown on inflorescences and leaves and noticed only after the casting. This gives then ugly marks and a thick, unsightly mush affected flowers fall off. This can be prevented but if care is taken. Even after the first application I have in the affected patch no more snails. I use now extended to other areas of the garden and achieves the same result. A repetition is currently not necessary because the young plants are now grown out of the critical stage.
