Default Electrocuting badgers

Does anyone know anything about electris fences?

Am seriously fed up with the badger poo and them digging up my beds, I'm sure they eat a few bugs, but having eaten most of my sweetcorn this year I don't find it much of a trade off. They have now damaged some broadies and my garlic ...but digging around in the asparagus bed is just....

In short, They've got to go, and not much will keep em out, thought i might invest in a low wire?

Fence voltages when using electric fences to exclude badgers

badger garden damage

You could have a look in your local SCATS for fencing.

Ascott Smallholding Supplies sell electric netting - can be used to exclude other pests as well as keeping chooks etc in a penned area. Check their website.
