2021 - What I did today

Made some more copper slug rings

I have copper rings made from an ancient bit of plumbing. As long as I remember to slip them over my chilli and pepper plants when they are small enough they make pretty good barriers.

Yours are more "real" than mine PP.

Mine consist of copper tape wrapped around a pop bottle then cut into rings, seems to do the job

Do you find that the copper tape works Broadway? and PP do you clean your copper rings before use

The rings get scrubbed with a wire brush before use. They're pretty effective unless a leaf touches the ground outside or an over zealous blackbird chucks mulch all over them!
