good afternoon,i heard of a slug deterrent using copper and was
wondering if anyone had any experience of it in use,evidently copper
tube is beaten flat,cut into sections and formed into collars which go
around the plant at soil level,all thoughts welcomed.

I used copper tape around my hosta pots one year. I watched a hungry slug
slide over it. It did recoil a bit at first though. :O)
