It's possible I didn't apply the copper very well. It was a little messy. I'm going to try again higher up the pot. And, based on your info, there could still be slugs in there. I'm personally a little hesitant to use pellets but I guess I might not have any other choice... Thanks at least for confirming my hypothesis! Pete |

Well, the sunflower was fine. It is now over 6ft tall and beginning to bloom
I've stood both sunflowers on a small table, and used copper tape on each leg. A snail occasionally still finds its way up there, but I suspect it would be more like hundreds without the tape. Also I'm saving a lot of tape by not having to do each pot individually. I'm now setting up a series of low boards supported on bricks, and coppering the bricks, for all my outside pots. Pete |
