Ah yes, I think you may have introduced me... Today I've got 30 (more) sweetcorn plants, fenel (which I don't know what to do with) and lemon mint. Along with more Californian poppy's & Zinna... Arn't mates great... -

I live 3 miles away from one of the UK's biggest red squirrel reserves in Formby. Now you'd like to think, with the red on a knife edge, that around that reserve, they'd keep the greys as tight as possible. Not so... On the farmland around me, they put down 10,000 trees 15 years ago. And last year planted 90,000 more. We are overrun with grey squirrels here, yet when speaking to both The Forrestry Commission, and The National Trust, who both have cownership, neither gave a feck about the grey numbers here already, and how they will increase, or the red population under threat up

Be interesting how this might play out in Iran with the general population. Speaking to an Iranian national two days ago, who hates the religious regime they live under, and any chance to overthrow that would be welcome...

Love mates like that... Our little village does OK for plant swaps, which get you putting in some stuff you wouldn't normally do. Remember Dogginlad off here, well Jay loves his gardening, and we constantly swap both veg and border plants. It really makes the difference

You simply find a bait that the arm spike (at the bottom) can go right through until it touches the base. Then raise the bar, and lock it in to the clip at the top. If the arm spike is not fully through the bait, it won't lock. Once locked, the rat will raise the arm trying to remove the bait, and bingo..! Liquorice Allsorts are good bait, I've used apple, dates, cooked chicken etc. Usually, smear a bit of peanut butter/chocolate spread & coconut oil around it too, just to make sure...

Size of hole in box for rat trap
Bosun11 replied to Dappled's topic in Snaring, Trapping & Pest Control
If your using a Fenn, try a mix of peanut butter, chocolate spread and coconut oil, spread it on the underside of the pedal of the trap, if that makes sense. A couple of monkey nuts (dirt cheap) or chopped liquorice allsorts can tempt them in, though the mix underside will do the job -

I seen a clip of a rug stall going ablaze there this year. A stall selling hair gel, vests and micro bra's would make a fortune there...

Especially this coursing bred thing, it takes suspicious and vocal to a whole different level...

Not veg related, but my little cactus and succulent corner is thriving.

Never been, never fancied it. The thought of watching gypo's charging horses down roads, and then trying to drown the poor feckers in the river really doesn't appeal to me. There's something about the fear on a horses eye that strikes a nerve with me, and if I had to witness it first hand, I wouldn't stand there and watch..!!

The bellends that live nextdoor to me are oblivious to rodents. Moved into open countryside, without a scooby about how it works. Trampy cnuts, they feed the birds fat balls, and dispite my protests about rats coming into my garden, they don't mind them, as 'they are all part of the countryside'. Every year they are plagued with mice in the house, and told us a 'funny' story of how the mice keep them up at night, rustling in the empty crisp packets on the bedroom floor..! So I live with permanent Fenn traps in the garden, and mouse traps in the house. Though to be honest, dispite next-doo

Really sorry to read about your problem Bornhunter. I can only imagine the stress and worry it has put on you and your family. Reading through the pages on this thread, the posts that register with me are those by Downsouth. I think I've liked just about every one... I know little about protection dogs, so I don't feel qualified to answer, but this is something for the whole family, especially in your absence. The last thing I'd want would be a Mali or any other 'wired' breed. To me you require a breed/type that will fit in, easy to handle and make a noise. If it has a bit of substan
