      Oh dear.....looks like you're gonna need a comfy sleeping bag so you can bunk down in your shed during the growing season It's only about six or seven months of the year

        Rary's probably a good runner as its free - although at his age his free bus pass will be worn out.

          At best, it may deter them temporarily, but then once it gets wet, or as soon as they are used to it, they'll cross over and eat your plants. And at worst, it seems to actively encourage them.
          2 rings of wire around your pot, about 1 to 2 cm apart with a nine volt battery connected across them, so it makes a circuit when the slug/snail tries to cross it, does a pretty good job lol

            Okay, fair enough. I can believe an electric fence would keep them away.
