How effective is the copper tape?
Could I used some scrap copper tubing from recent plumbing change
over?.
Thanks

We have used copper tape on containers of hostas for years and it is
very successful as a slug deterrent but not totally effective against
snails. Tape with a with a serated edge is supposedly more effective
with snails.
