Another option (that is just a thought at this stage) is to go to an art store
and buy a set-up for gold leafing,  except get copper leafing instead.  I  am
pretty sure they make it in copper.  In this way you  could apply super super
super thin copper to something shape-able such as aluminum foil and put it
where you want.  Or apply it to the top of the wood of raised beds.   I dont
know the cost,  but I've seen gold leafing done and it's not that hard.  Just
apply a layer of adhesive,  and put the very thinnest of copper foil on the
adhesive and then brush it to make contact.  I might have to investigate this
the next time I am in an art store.
