Copper Anti Slug and Snail Rings

They're cheapish and appear to have a thin copper coating, maybe they will work and snarl up the slugs. I intend to pull apart a pot scraper and make it into a circle to fit around the top of a pot. At any rate, the slugs will get theyselves cut up trying get through the pot scraper, I hope. We have been using adhesive copper tape around large containers of hostas for the last 3 years and it definitely works as slug barrier. We started off buying it in gc's at £5 for a 4 metre roll, but this year found a supplier on ebay selling 3 x 3 metres for around £7. -- Robert How do you keep slugs away from ground-grown plants? We gave up and grow shrubs that are not that attractive to slugs. If we were still persevering I would use nematodes. -- Robert |
