I use this for my containers and it seems to do a pretty good job, but I'm now needing to stock up.
For 4m, the Fito one is £3.85, and an unbranded roll is £3.25. Anyone tried the cheaper stuff, and can you tell the difference?

Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    I have had success using coper wire that you can get in huge rolls at any hardware store or hardware stall in the local market. I probably pay around the £4 mark, but for loads more than 4 metres.... :)
  • Copper pipe they say wrap it around. I have the cheaper copper tape from ebay so unless my slugs and snails can polevault its not very good. :D
