Thanks to you and to Bob. I have been 'talking' to an American friend
about
it but didn't know its proper name. For some reason, our dogs like eating
it, especially the dachshund. As he's extremely greedy, I think it must
have Rennies like properties!

Some of our hens like it too.

It's its only saving grace - that and being easy to pull. I have myself to
blame for it, I thought it would be fun to have when the children were
small.
