Hi, i have spent over a year developing a simple plastic ring that stops
slugs and snail eating plants in pots, you can cut out the base of the
pot and plant the whole thing out to give protection.please have a look
at my website, 'Keep It Simple Sussex'
(http://www.keepitsimplesussex.co.uk) and if you get time ,let me know
what you think of my invention plz.. many thanks.. spinksy





I have never found sharp objects on the level to be much of a deterrent.
Possibly having them overhead, as in the illustration, would help.
Out of interest, what stops the ring sliding down the pot? Is it a
friction fit?
