Default Copper Anti Slug and Snail Rings

I have some old scrap cable under the bench somewhere. Thought I would give
it a try on making some rings/hoops and putting them round the plants as
they come up :-)

Could try to be clever ;-) and put two rings round, one inside the other
about 1 Centimetre apart, but one made of tinned copper wire, then, when the
slug/snail goes over it, there just might be an Electric Current formed by
virtue of two dissimilar metals thus we have our own little Cathodic
Protection system ;-)
