Against all forms of chemical repellent because even so called safe ones
can be harmful to predators who feed on slugs and snails.
How effective is the copper tape?
Could I used some scrap copper tubing from recent plumbing change
over?.
Thanks

Try Ferromol, Iron phosphate based, harmless to everything but slugs
and snails.

(Sorry no idea about the copper rings)


I'm about to apply coffee grounds from our new machine and see if that
theory works in practice!
