Description

This slug matting is made from Tex-R, a unique copper-coated fabric that acts as a barrier to slugs and snails as it causes them discomfort. It also prevents weed growth and stops soil splash thereby keeping the fruit clean. It allows water through yet retains moisture in the soil. Safe to children, wildlife and pets, Tex-R fabric is widely used by professionals and can be reused as it remains effective for several years. The size of the sheet - 0.9m x 5m (3ft x 16ft), allows the planting of a double row of strawberry plants and is also suitable for vegetables, lettuce, hostas etc. It can also be cut to size and used around individual plants and under pots.

(image for) Apple Tree 'Bloody Ploughman'
from £34.95Apple Tree 'Bloody Ploughman'First recorded in 1883, there is an interesting story behind the name of this well-known Scottish apple. It originates from the Carse of Gowrie where allegedly a ploughman was shot dead by a gamekeeper for stealing apples from the Megginch Estate. When the ploughman's body was returned to his wife she found some of the stolen apples in his pockets and got rid of them on the rubbish heap. One of the seedlings that subsequently grew produced apples that were blood red in colour and the tree gave rise to the cultivar that was named after the unfortunate ploughman. The fruits are crisp and juicy and when fully ripe can darken to an almost purple colour. The flesh is often stained red which makes it a good variety for juicing and it can also be used to produce cider. It is often considered a dessert apple in Scotland, but the flavour is not particularly sweet and in England it tends to be regarded as a cooker. It makes lovely apple sauce and beautiful pink pies and crumbles. The tree is disease resistant and hardy, performing well in colder areas of the UK.Buy Now
