As I have already explained I have a few beds and lots of pots. I do not
have hedges and I do not have much in the way of shrubs (yet!) as my
garden is very much a work in progress.

And as for frogs and thrushes - yeh, right. I haven't seen a thrush for
20 years. Don't imagine I have any frogs either as I think I would have
seen one by now if I did. Did have a solitary slow worm in the front
garden but that was back in the spring of last year. And I did have a
hedgehog at one time, but I have not seen that for a couple of years
now.

I do get a single pair of blackbirds but only in the winter when they
come to my bird table for food, otherwise it is just the pigeons.

So, thanks for the suggestion, and I did at least try it, but I am *not*
going to be using it as an on-going strategy as it doesn't really suit
my set up but if it works for you that's cool. :-)

Nor did I. And I did nothing of the sort myself, either! Birds won't
take them because of the salt and if thet do, it may well harm them, so
street drain or loo? Hmmmmm......! ;-)


What's wrong with green bin or compost heap?

The OP has neither and no room for them, apparently.

If drained and bagged twice so they don't leak, suppurate, decompose,
or whatever may happen, why not?
