- Reduces the number of worm casts without affecting beneficial non-casting worms
- Ringer can be applied immediately after or before rain without reducing effectiveness
- Can be mixed with some wetting agents to enhance results - where soils are proving difficult to wet
- The action on the earthworms is primarily systemic - giving some growth retardation as well as affecting egg production
- It works by reducing feeding and acting as a repellent to the worms, who avoid feeding on the treated areas
- This means that the beneficial worms do not feed on the surface but deeper down - so reducing the likelihood of wormcasts
How to apply Ringer:
- Spray when worms are near to the surface - e.g when rainfall is high, during Spring and Autumn
- In hard water areas it is recommended to use a water conditioner such as KPlus
- This will reduce the lock up of the product and guarantee better results
- Do not spray during drought or on frozen ground
- Aerate compacted soil before treatment as this will help the product to penetrate into the soil profile
- Do not collect grass clippings during the first mowing after treatment
- Treat twice annually for large worm populations - spring & autumn
- Use coarse flat fan nozzles to apply with knapsack
