I'm quite interested in this as we have a huge amount of the stuff on our roof (and it sounds rather cheaper than Anne's kosher stuff I have to say!)
Do you know what wire you used, and how was it attached?

Not disputing that it does work, but it seems odd to me that rain can dissolve enough copper, in sufficient concentration to have a discernable effect? Would be interesting to measure the copper concentration in the run-off from a roof with such a system in place.

It won't kill the existing moss, only prevent further moss growth. IOW, you'll need to get up there and clean off all the moss first.
The copper needs to be cleaned, usually after 5 years or so.
Perhaps, if you're using _wire_ it would be easier just to replace it?
Not my experience. It will kill existing moss over a couple of seasons but the dead growth takes a while to be washed away. 22 swg or thicker bare copper (not tin plated) stretched either side of the ridge tiles works a treat. If (as I did) you have fancy ridge tiles with perforations it makes attaching vey easy.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "Mary Fisher" saying something like:
Can't afford vet's bills, more like. So something out of a murky bottle has to be worth a go.
Some of the old remedies do work - no disputing that. Trouble is, the charlatans hopped on that bandwagon long ago.
Some modern treatments are based on old remedies.
What gets me is how may people are walking around with a 66% copper bracelet on and suffering from problems and that the problems instantly go away when they have a 99% copper bracelet on.

Suggestibility, I would think. For years I've been regularly working with copper pipes and have developed arthritis. How's that for contrariness? Mind you, I didn't believe that copper would cure anything, so maybe that's it.
Does the same principle apply to alluminium foil hats?
:-)
I've been handling copper for decades - probably even consumed a bit, here and there ( the dust gets on yer sarnies ), and I've got arthritis too. Tell you what's made a small but noticeable difference for me - Lubramine.

Magnets are one of the latest ones, apparently increasing everything from blood coursing through veins to water whooshing more efficiently around CH systems. Plus of course they make you more attractive. Or repellant.
Whoever typed that doesn't realise that such homoeopathic remedies are prescribed by vets.

Homeopathic? I think no reputable vet would risk their licence that way. All animal medicines are just as tightly controlled as human ones and if they aren't on an approved list the vet can get into serious trouble if the animal doesn't improve.
Anyway, if you bothered to read the post properly, you'd see I was referring to off-the-shelf / home-made traditional cheap remedies that might avoid having to call in the vet. Whether some of those old cures actually do any good or even harm is another thing.
I used to live in a (very) small town in a very rural area. The vet (properly qualified chap) was proud of his use of homeopathic cures. I was never convinced by homeopathy - certainly not by the stuff being pushed for human use - but I did believe that he somehow achieved cures in the animals. Maybe the term 'homeopathic' was wrongly used - perhaps it was just traditional and/or 'natural' substances.
Of course, he also regularly treated with the mainstream medicines as needed. The farmers didn't seem to care very much - if the animal got well, good, if it was less expensive, good.
You're wrong. Many country vets prescribe homoeopathic remedies for larger farm animals. The customer still has to pay the bill, it's no cheaper than 'conventional' remedies.

Taking monies under false pretences then? Sounds like theft.
There is zero evidence that homeopathic medicines work on people let alone animals.
If you think about it every molecule of water on the planet has been in contact with homeopathic cures by now so any old water will cure anything.
Code of Practice of Veterinary Homeopathy for Veterinary Fellows, Members or Associates of the Faculty of Homeopathy
This code of practice is published to aid Veterinary Fellows, Members or Associates of the Faculty of Homeopathy, in their practice of veterinary homeopathy. It is not in any way to act as a substitute for any provisions of the Guide to Professional Conduct, published by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, rather to amplify particular points with especial relevance to the ethical delivery of veterinary homeopathy.
This paper may be used to guide any deliberations of the Faculty's Disciplinary Committee, should that body ever be called upon to report to the Faculty Council or to the RCVS on any issue relating to veterinary homeopathy and its clinical practice.
Since members of the BAHVS have all been given the opportunity to make input to this document or to raise objections, it is assumed that all members will adhere to its provisions.
Adherence to this code is likely to ensure that the good name and honour of veterinary homeopathy and those of the Faculty of Homeopathy and the BAHVS are upheld. _______
Please bear in mind that, should litigation or professional conduct proceedings be brought against a member of the BAHVS who is not a Member or Associate of the Faculty, the presence of these guidelines is likely to form an important consideration in those proceedings nonetheless.
The Disciplinary Committee of the Faculty of Homeopathy has veterinary representation, in order to deliberate on any matters of conduct by veterinary members, which are brought to its attention by a member of the public or by another veterinarian. That body also exists to offer advice to any who require it.
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "Mary Fisher" saying something like:
So? Just a load of waffle from a self-interested body.
I repeat, if any vet gave a homeopathic 'remedy' and the animal died, the vet's arse would be in a sling when the owner complained. That some country vets round your area get away with it makes no difference - I've no doubt there are some vets round my area doing it too, but I sure as shit wouldn't give them any of my business.
Relatedly- a vet was telling me that surgical superglue costs a bloody fortune, yet the same stuff (not identical, but functionally the same) available from the hardware store will do the same job. If a vet is caught using it, he/she can be disciplined. Seems a bit suss, that one - not as if the specialist surgical superglue suppliers might have had an input, is it? Anyway, it illustrates my point - you can step out of line with the prescribing/administering and get royally screwed over if the chips fall the wrong way. That's a trivial example - drugs are where it's at, really.
Homeopathic drugs for animals are a joke and are charlatanism through and through.
