We have a 2yr old weeping Caragana Arborescens in a large pot in front
garden, and snails are determined to killl kill kill.

It's a case of picking off 20+ every night, and last year they succeeded
in destroying all new shoots, and bypassing a cardboard collar I fitted
to stop them climbing up.

What other ideas to stop them do you have?

thanks,

Why cardboard?

Mary

Because it was handy, and easy to cut to the shape I wanted - a downward
facing collar - and tape onto the stem. No idea how to do that in copper.

Didn't work at all, of course
