    AND it's the first time I'm seeing electricity bring used on slugs! I'm going to use this systems for my strawberries ❤ thanks for the idea Lilly!

    Lilly, This is the first time I have seen someone use a living electrical tester. :) Looks like your electric fence is effective. Excellent demonstration!

    if you had a multi-meter you could test it also, if you didn't have any slugs handy. Thanks for the great video.

    Very nice Lilly! 👍 I bet you could add a small solar panel and a rechargable cell and it would hold out for quite some time, and no dead battery waste. You could tap into the "fence" wires anywhere along the run that's convenient. Awesome project, keep up the great work!

    That's actually really cool to see the device in action. I was skeptical at first, but this is really cool.

    Best thing I have seen to stop them, I have used the pan with beer but just makes a mess to clean up and the beer tastes funny. LOL

    The 'hose' 4:00 is called heat-shrink sleeving (or tubing) in the UK. You can get a version lined with hot melt glue ,which gives a more waterproof and rigid join.

    Just braided stripped copper wire will work on slugs , don't need double wire with a battery pack. Strip wire and staple around side of box , the slugs are sensitive enough to feel a current from the wire only.

  • @alexwade9921
    @alexwade9921 4 роки тому

    Very good! I think it would be more durable if you soldered the connections rather than twisting them. Also, bright zinc plated wire would remain conductive for longer than bare copper which will go green.

  • @northernselfreliance6943
    @northernselfreliance6943 4 роки тому

    Really cool idea.
    Another option is to take egg shells and crush them up and sprinkle them all throughout the garden. Snails and slugs wint enter the garden

    Hey Lilly, where do you get your seeds? I usually buy from the local hardware store (USA) but looking to buy online this year, any recommendations? I feel like "Burpee" brand is over priced lately.

  • @tinkeringforfun
    @tinkeringforfun 4 роки тому

    I'm interested to see a review later on the long term effectiveness of this and I like seeing your electrical hacks! Maybe try a jet lighter Lilly next time if you're outdoors. It works well on shrink hose as the flame is stronger and less likely to go out when it's windy!

    use salt on the top of your raised bed just renew it after each rain

    Those slugs are extra food when you quarantine yourself lol, 9 volt batteries do have some jolt to them, remember when you were a kid and sticking your tongue on the pos and neg of the battery lol.

      Hannes Camitz haha Yeah I that would eliminate the squatting in relationship to gardening, it’s going to be much more difficult to eliminated it from say a brake job on my car or plumbing under my sink. Yeah thanks for the advice. (Maybe I can put my house on stilts)

    If you put some beer in a tuna can in the raised bed, you will have a lot of fish bait.

    Hi lilly . Die hellen mit den schwarzen punkten sind tigerschnegel ... die helfen dir , da sie die eier und die babys von den nacktschnecken fressen ;) sind normal fleischfresser die aber auch kleine pflänzchen fressen wenn das fleischregal leer ist :) zum glück brauchen die kein klopapier ;)

    If they were edible snails you could beef up the current and roast them ready to eat.

    Battery will die as soon as it rains. The exposed wires will short it when they get wet. Try beertrapps instead.
