Ivy covered tree
"Carol Russell" wrote in message
... Just an update. I have now removed the ivy, there was one small birds nest but thousands of woodlice and I would think that they may damage the tree. By tickling it? They live on soft, usually decaying, vegetable matter and cause no harm in the garden except occasionally to seedlings (and not often to them). They were merely sheltering. They were not just sheltering but living there eating either the ivy or the tree, when they run out of preferred food they eat what they can get, in this case they would have caused possible entry for pathogens into the tree. No they werent, they were eating decaying matter, thats what woodlice do. -- Tumbleweed Remove my socks before replying (but no email reply necessary to newsgroups) |
