Today I used up two 15 foot rolls of copper tape on some new (read clean) plastic pots. Also, on one glazed ceramic pot for the new Sagaes.

I like the looks of it, I suppose it is about 1.25 inches wide, and it goes on nicely. Very sticky stuff.

Note that it will cut your fingers, and my pointy finger and thumb, the pads are now sliced up like paper cuts. Very inconvenient.

I have three more rolls of the tape, 15 foot x 3 = 45 feet,

and will apply it to the existing hosta pots which show signs of slug invasion. Actually, not much damage now. Possibly have sawfly larval damage. Need more chemicals for that.

Overall, the bright copper tape looks nice. The place I stuck it was at the top of the pot. However, it might be possible to put it around at a lower level, with a smaller circumference, to use less tape. If the pot was in the grass it would not work well. However, sitting on a shelf or in a tray, it could work low on the pots.

I was looking for copper paint, did not find it, so this tape seems fairly sturdy. We'll see how long it lasts. Might outlive the plastic pots from WalMart.....
