Use insulated metal buckets and attach hot wire to bucket. Bare feet on

No Joe, you can't just run a 220 line out to the bucket.

lol I'd just run an insulated single wire around the plants. ;-)

Setting up a hot wire is actually pretty inexpensive.
They have kits at many farm stores. Tractor Supply for one.

I guessed I was thinkin' that Joe would just scrape the insulation off
of one end of an extension cord and attach that to the bucket but the
amperage would fry the plant as well. Still, I can hear the wheels
spinning in Joe's mind, so let me remind him, if a neighbor's kid should
touch it, he would have a dead plant an a mountain of paperwork to fill
out, not to mention cutting checks to his lawyer.

That should keep in in line for a little while.
