And are they suggesting you'll have a *LAWN* in 5 days? I'd say that was
a claim for the Trades' Descriptions Act. Under very favourable
conditions you might see the tips of some of the shoots appearing in
five days......

Provided you kindly and foremost politely ask the birds to have their
banquet somewhere else..........


Ah! But that where all those Cd-roms from AOL come in handy, hang them on
strings across where you have seeded so they flash in the breeze.

It takes most small birds about 2 minutes to get used to flashing CDs.
I hung them among the balls of fat and bags of peanuts and timed how
long it took for birds to ignore them.

If you
have some old video tape you can also use that crisscrossed with a slight
twist across the seeded bit, that will also flash and vibrate in the wind.
Works on the allotments!
