I have recently placed a layer of wood chippings over some flowerbeds,
in the hope to keep the weeds down. The local blackbirds are treating
it as a trolley dash at Tesco, I've no problem with that, except they
are litter louts, spreading chippings over the adjacent drive in the
case of one bed. Having spoken to them nicely they are still doing it.

If I replace the chippings on that bed with gravel will that stop them?

No - they still root around in gravel, but can't throw it as far..........

I am assuming that the lovely grub(s) using the wood chip will keep the
grub(s) away. Am I right, will it work?

TIA
