The serious diet started two days ago.  Today will be chicken drumsticks, salad and maybe some rice.

I see the idea in the newsletter about copper for slug control. Research shows copper mesh is cheaper. I have the idea that this could be buried around the plant OR perhaps better still (reusable) wrapped and (stuck!) around a pot with the bottom cut off.

Anyone used copper and/or mesh for this purpose (before I buy yet another useless idea!)?

Thanks.

Sorry if this has been touched on, but an article I read recently commented on Highgrove`s gardener suggesting similar to the `beer` method, alternatively using a mixture of small amounts of sugar and died yeast with water in pots with the rim at ground level.
 Anyone tried this?

Another vote for Stanley here, mines had years of use at Children's cycling events, fishing, and days walking on the hills.

Ex rugger bug*er here Aidy, and i find Turmeric & Glucosamine tablets help, also walking wearing good trainers seem to keep things better and finally Glucosamine Gel can help.
