protecting the garden from slug and snail damage. The pellets are made of a coarse, grain-like absorbent mineral with sharp edges, designed specifically to deter slugs and snails. As these garden pests secrete mucus as they travel across the ground, their entire body makes contact with the ground meaning they avoid sharp and absorbent surfaces. They are packaged in a bottle made from recycled plastic and the 1.5kg pack will provide coverage of up to 30m. The product is safe for use around children, pets and garden wildlife including hedgehogs. Green Protect Brand Manager, Gemma Hodgson said: “There is increased demand for eco-friendly, chemical free pest control for home and garden use. The upcoming Green Protect Slug & Snail Barrier Pellets offer a great method of protecting vegetables, fruit and ornamental plants from slug and snail damage without the use of poison. I particularly like that at the end of the season the pellets can be turned into the soil and left to biodegrade.

Toolboxes could be a lot lighter in the future, thanks to T-REX’S new Mounting Tape range.


Forget nails, screws, staples and glue – these double-sided, permanent mounting tapes boast a ferociously strong adhesive that can hold weights of up to 50lb. The three tapes – Extreme Hold (on a roll or in strips) and Clear (on a roll) – adhere to metal, glass, wood, concrete, brick, tiles


and ceramics and can handle wet and cold climates as well as being UV resistant and able to withstand temperatures of up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit, so it’s perfect for indoor or outdoor use. Very little product is needed to provide long-lasting, super-strength sticking: the Clear tape only requires a two-inch strip to hold 1lb, while Extreme Hold only requires a 1.2-inch strip to hold 1lb. The user simply applies firm pressure to create a strong bond with the clean and dry surface, which builds over time to reach its full strength after 24 hours. n www.trextape.co.uk/products/t-rex-mounting-tapes

More Tales From Behind The Counter is the latest book written by author and friend of DIY Week, GRAHAM HIGSON, in which he takes an amusing peak behind the hardware retailer’s counter, that anyone in the business, or even those who aren’t, will find very entertaining. Novels about shop work are rare, and ones about hardware shops even rarer, yet here is another volume of tales reflecting the changes that have affected all retailers, large and small, and told in the same amusing and whimsical style as in the first book, How Much For a Little Screw? In this latest collection (that includes All Mod Cons and Bobo and the Burglars), the hardware man and his eccentric, yet loyal, staff are faced with a gang of con merchants, and then the devastation of demolition burglars. With a swimming pool of sludge and a woman customer who’s determined to rearrange his anatomy, those were more than trying times back in the ’90s. Available in paperback from Amazon for £10, postage free, this book will make the ideal gift for anyone working in the DIY and home improvement industry, even if you are buying for yourself.
