Ring of copper....down with the slugs!

 I fell in to a burning ring of fire
I went down,down,down
and the flames went higher.
And it burns,burns,burns
the ring of fire
the ring of fire.

Johnny Cash

I made a ring of copper around my lettuces to try to save them from the slugs and snails. But opposed to the song, I hope the slugs remain outside the ring, rather than in! It's been a few days now, and the leaves seem to stay intact with no new holes in them. Hopefully this means my lettuces are safe and the pests don't turn their attention to the sprouts next to the lettuces.
