I bought this product for the very same purpose. I have not employed it yet for the upcoming growing season, but my sister has used it with great effect. The glue on the back makes it easy to apply to the sides of raised beds as well as for garden tables (wrap it around the legs to reduce the amount required).

yes I think it would work well. Small gravel would go through but it would catch the droppings.

It does help keep them away from my plants, so maybe it will work on the wood. Do you salt your steps in winter? I placed a salt block for the deer on a wooden bridge in my yard two years ago and they continue to eat the wood right where the salt used to be. Just a thought...

I garden a lot and YES, a little bit of either copper wire or copper mesh wrapped loosely around the very base of your plants can be very effective against snails and slugs. You don't try to make a barrier with copper; they say it literally acts like an electric fence by giving them a shock when they try to crawl over it. I just know it works to keep the slugs out of my hostas.

I am not sure but it should if it is packed full of potting soil or other soil in which you wish to grow your plants. I am not sure I would use it for this purpose however unless the rocks were large and not compacting.

Yes, and yes! It worked fantastic in my raised beds, my collard greens were being destroyed and this worked instantly. Just diluted w/water in a spray bottle.

It will and bugs. But works well . Use less and no ants . Way less more often and this stuff youcant beat the yield increase.

I use in my raised beds and all around them. I have seen no bad effects on my vegetables. But it does keep the deer away from them

depends on your soil. I have soft soil and the spikes they send with it pull out and I had to buy extra and add a lot more than they recommend. if you have harder soil might work.

The granules would seep into the ground and so would their toxins. I use the plastic bait system in and around my garden to keep ants down. I find that it works quite well. Ants are not a problem in my garden now.

More likely than not. The slits are fairly small and I used mine for hydroponics with no issue but we use small pellets. With that. But most pieces of potting soils are good size so that is why I think it would work. Best of luck!

I wouldn't use it for that. Too much for plants only good on gutters if there's not a lot in them.

i would think so its is a small head and you attach the head where you want it. good for planters not beds

I am not sure of whether it would work or not. I would not think so since snails move slowly over rough surfaces. BUT if you got creative and built a wall of it it MIGHT. But window screening would be cheaper in that case.

I would think that would work. It attracted a ton of ladybugs to my garden last summer. Good luck!

Probably not the best option because the surface of this is not flat. I would suggest you get a dolly that has flat legs. For planters these work great.

Karen, I would give it a try. In fact, contact the company directly. They ship asap because they obviously get it that it's situation critical. Follow the directions, mark your territory as instructed and stay with it. I've been using this product for years. I put some golf ball sized balls (old pantyhose work with Shake Away inside) and tossed them in the attic. No squirrels. Put another one near my baby sunflower plants and they are still standing. It isn't all that expensive so if it doesn't work on groundhogs, you won't be bankrupt. Good luck in your war against the critters!
