I'm going for copper pipe on my raised beds (yes, I found the tape blew off, with help from the cats), and thanks to a suggestion from this forum I'm trying Nemaslug. I found the tape helped a bit last year (actually watched a slug going 'ouch' hahahahahaaaaahahahahha, sorry ....).

Hopefully with both, things should be slightly under control.

We found Screwfix cheapest for copper pipe and decided to bite the bullet on cost because it will last and you can wire brush it if it gets dull.

The wildlife pond is coming this year and I've spent all winter bribing birds!
