Electric fence for slugs...

My friend Alex has made a solar powered electric fence to keep the slugs and snails off his vegetable patch! Apparently the first version caused small slugs to burst(!!!), but also drained the battery too much. There's a lower power version now, which is a bit more humane I think. All in all, a neat way of protecting your food without the use of chemicals! Read more about it on his blog:
