Yes, copper does work - it gives a slight shock to the wee beasties. I even
lined the rim of my wooden planters - nary a slug last year. Even mice
avoid copper, truly! I used to get them "ringing" my rose branches, but not
a bite since I circled the roses, at ground level, with copper. It's
certainly worth a try. I've seen many people recommending copper over the
years.

I've seen these advertised, so I'm experimenting with home-made rings
made from copper round some of my herbaceous plants.
Now the rain is forecast to return (North Cumbria), I'm expecting
the damn things to be at my lupins any day.
Does anyone have experience with them? Any advice?

Around *your* neighbourhood no doubt. You must be at least eighty years old
for "jokes" as above, poor thing. I suppose you've just discovered the
Internet and like to see your inane remarks in print. There's always one
spoiler in a group - you must be it. You are now kill-filed, so don't bother
to rush to reply.

That's not nice noone, Martin is a knowledgable longtime poster, quite
young actually. He is a gardener who has a sense of humour which we
all appreciate at times especially when there are trolls and nasties
around, he can be guaranteed to bring light to the group. Don't you
have a joke over the garden fnce with friends and neighbours? I do.

Heh! Thanks Gordon. Funny how folks change their tune and try to deflect
when they realise they jumped the gun huh?
