• Hmmm.

    I assumed the herbs seedlings and rocket I planted at the weekend were decimated by slugs.

    To protect the remnants I rigged up some copper wire to an old bike battery.

    This morning even more had gone including some of the chives being "trimmed", but most noticeable was soil on the strawberry leaves next to the planter.

  • How far apart are your wires? Your circuit is two loops, each connected to a terminal on the battery right?

    I can only see one loop.

    I have a 9v battery connected to my recently built slug fence and despite using that setup because I thought it would be humane so far it seems to have a kill rate approaching 100%. Not that I'm that bothered.

    Just one at the mo. Is there a particular reason for having two?

    Tbh I think the battery is now dead anyway.
