What have you been doing today?

Had a little ride on the bikes with my girls. See some big fish this one I'm not sure was so healthy. Tiny pike the size of my willy. I mean finger, and see a water vole... Not many about these days.

I thought that but on closer look and talking to a boat person it looked as if it had a fungus. It was in River. The ponds round hear used to be heaving of gold fish.

Copper strip with a zinc strip below with a small gap between seems to deter slugs.

As they are dissimilar metals, would they not create a small electric current between them (given some moisture between them, in the soil)?

Should have been a bit clearer, you p8n them on raised beds,and theory being slugs dont like copper anyway, when they connect the zinc n copper together its much more unpleasant for them.

Yes, that's it. The damp slug connects the two dissimilar metals, and an electric current passes through the slug :LOL:
 
Discovered a sheep on her back whilst out for my constitutional this morning......managed to get her up (unbelievable weight, took all my strength but managed it somehow).
Unfortunately she had rolled onto one of her lambs and crushed it :( it seemed to have a dislocated shoulder and had been dead for a bit.
Felt wretched all day.
John :(
