My non-gardening son has just told me of a report he'd read/heard that
surrounding plants with a copper wire keeps away snails. Apparently, it
reacts with their trail fluid (sorry don't know the English) producing
something they don't like.

Can anyone confirm this? Practical experience?


I heard that it sets up a very small electrical current and they get a shock
if they touch it.
