In a catalogue today, I saw some "slug collars", basically a ring of copper to place around vulnerable plants. However, the price is pretty steep at £24 for 6 of the 7", and £19 for 6 of the 4".
I have in the greenhouse, a coil of 8mm diam soft copper tube, so I thought, cut it into lengths of around 21", bend into a circle, and join the ends together. There you have a similar item at approx. 7" in diameter, at a much lower price. Not tried it yet but I hope it works for things like lettuce.
