What's eating my sprouts?
"La Puce" wrote in message oups.com... Cat(h) wrote: Interesting indeed. As well as a multitude of wood pigeons all over the area, I have at least one couple of ring-necked doves nesting in the trees above my garden. The CD idea sounds interesting, and I might try that. I assume I need to thread them onto strings hanging from poles above the plants so that they catch the light and frighten the cabbage lovers? No no no. I find little speakers with a max output power of 2W is enough. The CD however is another problem; one would feel that the Op.62 No.6 of Spring Song by Mendelssohn would be appropriate, but the cabbage lovers will start pecking at your speakers. It is now clear that the public of Europe has spoken in unisson: Finland entry at the Eurovision Song Contest *is* the definitive voice of Europe. I very much recommend this CD, so do all the Pixies ;o) Obviously not a Puce D'amour. Hang the CDs so they swing about 1ft above the ground-the reflections look uncannily like nearby movement. Wood pigeons can devastate a field of sprouts during a winter cold spell. Many years ago a market gardener friend was going spare during a cold spell. A week into the new year his field was been raided by large flocks of pigeons. Regards David T |
