Description: How to make an extremely easy barrier to stop snails from climbing trees. You only need copper tape or easier to get and cheaper, copper wire from an electrical cable. Wrap the copper wire or strip around the trunk of the tree and the snails will stop at it, not crossing the copper. Why? It is not clear. Somebody says that it is because of toxicity of copper and other beacuse of an electrolytic reaction that produces a small electric current that disturbs the snail. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snail Channel Page: youtube.com/user/mopatin Google + : google.com/+mopatin
