Following postings about slugs and snails and copper wire etc., I am
performing some experiments which gardeners, (that does not include me, I
am a non gardener, 'her outdoors' is the gardener) might like to follow.
Pictures at http://www.myalbum.com/Album-NSVC6IM7
One of the pictures shows a slug which is reluctant in going over the
copper wire.
Other pictures are self explanatory .
The three pots of beans are now under the tender care of 'her outdoors' in
her greenhouse. Once the plants show above the compost, they will be
placed in a 'vulnerable' position outdoors where the slugs and snails seem
to frequent.
Watch this space.
Be delighted to answer any questions.
The Cathodic/Electrolytic Action experiment with two dissimilar metals
round a pot may follow later.

The two smaller plants are in the pots with salt on the double sided sticky
tape and the copper ring around the stem
