I think I'm becoming a gardener!
"Douglas" wrote in message ... "Sue" wrote in message ... ----- Original Message ----- From: "shazzbat" You're a gardener, no question about it. Welcome aboard. Just one flaw in your reasoning. You will never win the battle of the dandelions, or the slugs/snails come to think of it. However there is no reason you shouldn't enjoy yourself trying. Don't feel guilty, there'll be plenty more. And not using pellets is also frog friendly. Goody, I've got them too. Will they eat the slugs? Sue **************************** For the slugs and snails, go to Asdas, They sell three sizes of well made torches and they are cheap. They have the facility on the lighting head end (the part where the bulb is) to alter the breadth size of the beam,- which is useful. You go out at nightfall just as it has got dark and do a few sweeps of the garden wearing washing-up gloves from Asdas. Get a plastic bucket while you are at it. Make sure you are clothed correctly, - at that time the house is warm and cold damp has fallen outside. Pick up the slugs and snails and give the next door Neighbours from Hell the pleasure of their company by chucking them over the fence in a high wide arc. One at a time and in spearate directions. Alternatively put them in the bin and let them multiply in the Corporation dumps where they will do more good than in your garden. I don't have slugs or snails any more. I have a small pond which I have seeded with frogs and toads. They come and spawn every year. (they are missing this year for some reason.) Important!! -- DO NOT HAVE A POND IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN. I myself have fallen into mine three times and the third time I fell awkwardly and damaged my thigh. I also have a pond but make a point of not drinking to much when I'm near it ;-) How on earth did you manage to fall in three times (I'm reminded of something that Oscar Wilde said.) Now I have a very heavy strong wire grid over it at all times. Doug. |
