The message is clear.....
If you live in an area where you are likely to have a visit from an intruder
who has a heart condition and a pacemaker and who crawls around on his/her
hands and knees then forget the electric fence.
With a fence height of 9 to 12 inches you wont even feel a thing if you are
wearing trousers, jeans etc.

unless one urinates on it, whilst trying to get the compost going.

Why? Would the electric shock travel up the stream of 'flow'

I think it would.


Like they say about those Brazilian fish (probably falsely) that swim
towards people who urinate in the sea?
