I've heard coffee grinds work as well. I can vouch for the copper tape. I put it around the base of tubs and on the legs of our seedling benches. I love the idea of copper pennies. Probably a cheaper way of doing it,as the tape is not cheap. It would be pretty to glue them to the pots.Cherylhttp://www.timetocraft.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766125915735517520.post-79526553754665329762010-06-10T18:45:42.273-07:002010-06-10T18:45:42.273-07:00Great poem....I have no idea how to get rid of bug...Great poem....I have no idea how to get rid of bugs. We have been gardening for 4 years now and haven't had any issues. I am sure there are some great online resources...good luck Mama!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07611841326783680263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766125915735517520.post-42479035870062849242010-06-10T07:50:56.704-07:002010-06-10T07:50:56.704-07:00You can also buy copper tape to put at the base of...You can also buy copper tape to put at the base of your plants (don't know what it costs, so not sure which is the cheaper way to go). You can always put some beer out for them to drink (and drown) in. That won't get them all, but it helps lower their numbers. I also read somewhere to go out at night (every night) and pick them off your plants and drown them (you can fling them, but they'll just come back). Seems like quite the undertaking when you can just stop them with pennies. Can you tell I've done some research? : )Wintryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05580840821381302715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766125915735517520.post-83806406651449635582010-06-09T21:12:31.263-07:002010-06-09T21:12:31.263-07:00We are having our garden DESTROYED by slugs.

The copper in the pennies gives them some sort of electrical shock, which they obviously dislike. I was hesitant at first, but we have had some great success over here! <br />I am going to add some penny photos to my blog soon.Mama Gone Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15591925279586183540noreply@blogger.com
