Having just bought a pack of 'grease bands' made by Bayer for £7.09, I
can't help thinking 'they saw me coming'.
Is there anything special about them? Just seems to me to be two strips of
plastic sheeting stuck together with a thin layer of gunge. What do others
use on their fruit trees?

I first saw it in a Aldi type shop and wish I had bought a few.
