Sprinkle some on grass and worms appear on the surface as if by magic. Useful for fishing. Soapy bowl of washing up liquid on the lawn ,brings the worms to the surface for fishing 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tatsblisters 9,542 Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 Talking of poisons reminds me of the keeper at Carlton towers near Selby year's ago who used to use it and i know it cost the life of a Labrador that belong to a beater and a good lamping dog that belonged to a well known coursing lad from Barnsley.

Welbeck estate like the Wentworth estate back in the day would sooner have had the keepers gas the rabbit's than give permission to a few miner's or other working class lad's permission to ferret them. A couple of my mates got done on Welbeck near the lakes ferreting in the mid 80s and ended up in court. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
