#coppertape — Public Fediverse posts

While we were defending our #peas from masses of #snails & #slugs last week, my better half said, “I think we should wrap the pots in #coppertape”.

I said, “That doesn’t work. It’s a fairy tale. Maybe I could wrap the pots with double sided tape & rub salt onto the exposed tape?”

Her reply, “Why?”

“#Salt kills snails & slugs”

“I’ve never heard of that!”
