Still, spraying that Rockstar was onerous. And since it's chock full of sugar I worried it might attract as many ants as it killed slugs. I don't have copper tape around and I couldn't figure out how to fit it around strawberries that were in the ground rather than in containers. Then it dawned on me that pennies might work. They could be used as a mulch (albeit an expensive one). So now I'm going to have to get my hands on pennies and scraps of copper (should hang out around construction sites. Those guys waste unbelievable amounts of useful material...they just throw it in the trash) to mulch my plants.
