I find black soot brilliant. After you remove the ashes from your stove/ fireplace you will usually find some within the fireplace or stove or lower end of the chimney. Place a sheet of newspaper in base of fireplace and a quick rub with a wire brush will give you plenty. Alternatively clean your chimney and keep the soot dry in your shed. Sprinkle it on the general area around the base of the plants.

Ditto seaweed. apparently the slugs do no like the salt in the seaweed. Effect wears off after a few weeks.

Njoy.
