This is terrible. My lupins are in absolute tatters. Has anyone
tried using copper wire (e.g. from domestic cables) as a slug
& snail barrier? I want to put something around the pots, you
see, but don't want to buy "slug tape" at a tenner for 4m!!
Would wire, rather than tape, work?

If they're in pots you can smear Vaseline round them.
