The electric fence is very clever but can't see how it would work for normal (not raised) beds. I'd also worry about my kids getting zapped!
I was thinking about this, you could just push pieces of wood into the border around the bed so they were level with the ground and install the fence on top? But yes, it's harder.
Your kids aren't going to get zapped, it runs on a 9v battery! When I was a kid we used to dare each other to put the contacts on our tongues :)

I'll probably curse it but since planting the Lavender i've had less slugs. Apparently they don't like the scent. Using coffee grounds around the affected plants but not sure that's doing much.
