Look No Holes .

YET

 

Yummy!!!Let me at 'em... ... :D

 

Sorry, Miss Ignorance would like to know what they are, please? Hostas?

Looks like another Crowded House to me! :D

 

Definitely hostas, LoL - otherwse known as "lunch"!

 

Ah I see why is that a copper band round the top of the pot Roders?

 

No holes in mine either, but I do use slug pellets cos there planted in the ground

 

Mine too and me too! I actually forgot to slug pellet one of mine the other day, phew! It got away though.

 

Walnut the copper band does work,but I swear last year a couple came in by helicopter :D

 

I had hostas last year with grit and pellets around them for those pesky sluggies.... they still got through and ate them :(

 

now I need to ask about copper bands, is it the depth of band or the copper? I asked Martin for some copper bands and he made me some very thick copper wire ones and so far they have keps B*****s off - but sadly not one of my valued asarums.

so what is it with the copper bands that does the trick?

 

these have not been subject to copper band yet

 

I think the copper gives them a little electric shock Not half as big as the shock they get if I catch them munching my plants :D :D

 

Waco usually I use copper tape round pots and round the legs of my benches in the greenhouse I have also got the bench legs stood in those copper scourers yo get from wilkies, plants like your hosta I use pieces of copper pipe flatened out or you can use copper swarf or chopped up bits just make sure there's no gaps, the width is about one inch

 

Does brass have the same effect?I know we must have slugs because of the silver trails but they havn`t touched my hosta.

 

Both mine are in the ground. Where would I put the copper??
