I love climbing plants, such as Clematis, Honeysuckle etc., but my 2 year
old Jack Russell likes chewing the barks and they die. Actually she does it to everything apart from plants I have in containers, so is it OK to plant climbers in containers ? Barbra |

What about putting some chicken wire around the base of the plant -
it stops rabbits from doing the same thing to saplings. Fasten it to the fence either side of the main stem. Would stop your dog until you can train him. "Martin Sykes" wrote in message ...

Cut the top and bottom off 2 litre pop bottles then cut up the length, they
will close down like plant sleeves and will protect the stems from chewing/strimmer damage etc, and at the price (Free) just cant be bettered. -- David Hill Abacus nurseries www.abacus-nurseries.co.uk |
