Copper Rings Beat Slugs Snails

Slugs and snails are plant killers on a mission—munching everything in sight, especially with fresh growth popping up. Popular home remedies? Mostly useless, says gardening guru Alan Titchmarsh. He’s ditched coffee grounds, eggshells, and chemical pellets—too harsh or ineffective. The real fix? Copper rings around plants—they zap slugs with a tiny electric shock, keeping them away. For potted plants, lift pots on feet to make climbing harder. Bottom line: copper works, and nightly slug hunts are still your best bet.
