Please enlighten me, you could have saved me a lot of money, I have three

Hi Alan,

Don't get excited, I think he means he's doing what I've been trying,
ie using a fenn trap but building a tunnel round it with four bricks
and a couple of tiles.

Could you explain a bit more about your tunnel technqiue with the bin
bag? You mean you're burying the trap in the earth (which I'm also
doing) and then making some sort of tunnel with a bin bag? One of the
points of the tunnel is to make sure other species don't go into the
trap, I can't see how a bin bag would manage that, but I'm ready to
try all (lawful) ideas.

Cheers!

Martin
