slug and snail control

What about copper tape around the affected area? I am going to try that this year in a raised bed. mm I swear by this. I had two raised beds last time, 4' x 6' and I ran the copper tape around the top edge. I would recommend sanding the wood a little so the tape adheres well and that you wear gloves. The thin copper edge will slice you easily and deeply. I had NO slugs or snails disturb my bush beans, sugar snap peas or eggplants (ok, maybe they didn't want the eggplants). It was amazing. Certainly the garden has thousands of the things, so I concluded that the tape worked. I'm putting in 3 more raised beds for veggies this year and all will get the tape. I think it should last several seasons. I also use Sluggo in the beds, around plants I know the slugs love to eat down to the ground. It works pretty well. --Carolyn -- Carolyn Fairman http://www.stanford.edu/~cfairman/ |
