Slug barrier for garden beds
Slugs avoid rough, caffeinated surfaces. A ring of dried coffee grounds around delicate plants is a poison-free alternative to slug pellets.
What you need
- Dried coffee grounds
- Watering can
Step by step
- 1
Lay the ring
Create a closed ring of dry grounds about 3 cm wide around each plant.
- 2
Renew after rain
Wet grounds lose their effect — top up after every rainfall.
Good to know
- Works as prevention, not against an existing infestation.
