I just finished install 3" wide copper tape around 3 of my 4 outdoor garden beds. I'll see if this makes for any noticeable reduction in slugs next year. They were bad this past year.

I heard one's solution is to attract slug eating birds if you can in your area

Ok, I suppose that would mean putting up bird houses. If I put out bird food, they wouldn't need to eat slugs.

Ya. Thats true. Was just throwing the idea out there 👊

My approach, inspired by Charles Dowding and permaculture, has been to eliminate slug habitat. Wood boards edging beds seems to be one of their favorite spots. I also keep the beds mulched with compost instead of organic matter, since they'll hide under it and use it as a food source.
