Copper does NOT keep slugs out of your garden

I read on a website discussing natural ways to get rid of slugs that they will not cross over copper. I have a bunch of beading wire that is 100% copper so I started making rings around my plants with it. Then I saw a slug. I surrounded it with the copper wire. The slug slimed its way right over the copper wire like idgaf. I stopped putting copper wire around my plants and gathered the rest back. Dont believe everything you read on the internet and copper is not the solution for everything.

@cherokeepatti i was going with the non existent budget for gardening and using what i already had. Around here slug bait is usually sold out. Online shopping is always an option but still have the money factor

@morrgin wood ashes works as long as it’s kept dry, make a ring around the plants with it
