Dr. Russell Sharp explains the history of slug control, why traditional metaldehyde was banned, and how Eutrema developed a chelated ferric phosphate gel called Slugger as a safer alternative. He reveals a new, simple use: painting a thin, long‑lasting barrier around pots and raised beds to deter slugs and snails. Slugger is pet‑friendly, provides iron nutrition, works well on terracotta, and can protect containerised plants for weeks. https://eutrema.co.uk/shop/biostimulants/slugger/

Dr. Russell Sharp of Eutrema walks through the top 10 reasons lawns and sports turf turn yellow (chlorosis), explaining the science behind the symptom and showing how common issues — drought, nutrient deficiency, compaction, scalping, blunt mower blades, fungal disease, pests, pH imbalance, pet urine, and competition from trees/weeds/moss — produce yellowing. The episode gives straightforward, practical fixes: deep infrequent watering, correct nitrogen and iron treatments, liquid gypsum for compaction and urine damage, sharpen blades, pest control, pH adjustment, and targeted fungicide or wetting-agent solutions. https://eutrema.co.uk/shop-lawn-care/
