Grazers FAQ

Is Grazers safe with pets and children in the garden?
Yes. The core ingredient in Grazers is a form of calcium which is beneficial to the plant and is totally safe to children, pets and the environment.

Can I use Grazers when rabbits are eating the bark?
No. Grazers works by being absorbed systemically through the leaf of the growing plant and so it is not effective when applied to the bark as it is not absorbed.

Will Grazers harm my pet rabbit in the garden?
No, but we wouldn’t recommend spraying Grazers where it is going to be grazing as the treated area will be unpalatable.

When is the best time to apply Grazers?
Grazers can be sprayed effectively at any stage while the plant or grass is growing, but will be particularly effective in early spring and summer when young growth is emerging and very susceptible to damage

Should I spray new plants before we plant them?
Yes. We recommend spraying plants in the pot twice before planting and again once planted, to get Grazers built up within the plant in preparation. This is because new plants are generally very lush and succulent and they will be more prone to damage. Established plants in the garden will generally only need one initial spray at the start of the growing season with repeat applications as required.

Can I mix Grazers with other products?
No Grazers must be sprayed on its own and three days should be left before and after other applications, for maximum benefit.

Can I eat salad/veg that has been sprayed?
Grazers is safe to spray at any growth stage and beneficial to the plant, I would recommend a weeks harvest interval after treatment as it may have a subtle effect on the taste. Most damage from rabbits and pigeons etc is caused to the young plant well before harvest, which is also when Grazers is most effective.

NB if a plant/crop/grass is under stress due to poor health, nutrition, poor soil conditions (waterlogged, drought) Grazers may not work straight away and growing conditions/plant health may have to improve before re application.

More information about Grazers

On the strength of its success with farmers and growers, we recently released the ‘Garden’ size Grazers, in an easy to use container and sufficient to spray ½ acres.

Grazers must be applied to the foliage of any growing plant where it is taken in systemically. Because it is nutrient based, it can be sprayed safely on ornamental, shrubs, bedding, fruit or vegetable and lawns.

It will in fact help repair any damage already caused. It is odourless to the human nose, and safe for pets.
It is hard to recommend repeat timings due to the number of variables eg. time of year, location, type and age of plants at risk.

Although in most cases 1 treatment is sufficient for Grazers to be effective, I recommend building Grazers up within the plant with 2 or 3 applications 3 days apart, where practical, then leave and monitor. This is also a good practice in Autumn to help the plants through the winter. Grazers is also very effective on grass and generally 1 initial application is sufficient - apply just after mowing and if possible leave 5-7 days before re mowing.

Grazers being trace element based is beneficial to the plant and can be sprayed safely even on young plants at the earliest growth stage.

Note: Where new plants are introduced to the garden we recommended to spray with Grazers at least twice, in a pest free location, prior to planting and again once planted (each application 3 days apart) This is because new plants have young tender shoots which are very attractive to grazing pests.
