Aldi have some copper tape to fit round pots, which is supposed to keep slugs and snails away.


Has anyone tried it, as I'm tempted after losing the tops of buds from my new clematis, in just 24 hours ?

    The guys at my allotment swear against copper tape.

    Try things like crushed egg shells, sharp sand, coffee grounds or even beer pots
