Thanks everyone. a ring on the ground probably won't work. I'll probably use a slip of wet & dry sandpaper and a rubber band.


A ring on the ground certainly *does* work, very effectively.


When there are other easy short paths for the slugs to get onto the plants?


I'm speaking from several years of successful use, and that of other
more experienced gardeners who taught me.

But then I listen to advice, rather than asking and then dismissing
it.
