Not surprised the houses shot out the door as there is virtually nothing out there to use for new home cards....I seem to have had so many to do .... Guess what though....I was so excited but missed buying them. Look forward to a return !

For pots what I found works best is copper tape, the plumbers stuff is cheaper and just as effective, you just need two rows with a small gap in between to make it wide enough so they can't bridge it. Or shocka mat under pots works good. A copper ring round a plant is good but it needs to be a plant with leaves that don't grow over and touch the ground. Also crushed egg shell, but not as effective - you put a solid ring of it round the plant you want to protect. You need to keep topping it up. The birds like to eat it for calcium. I have to have beer traps too as there are just way too many snails and slugs here, they were eating everything in sight, including plants that they never normally touch!!! The ones I collect I put in the garden waste bin (not my own compost bin), they must have a happy life in there! <br /><br />They even eat dried cat food!!! Aye, I'm the softy that gives the local cats some of Daisy's food and a tickle, when they ask, even though they've all got homes and are clearly all looked after!!! I give the regular cats names, and the one that comes the most knows what his name here is and responds/comes running if I call him!<br /><br />Woodpigeons are the other menace up here, but I've sorted them out too. I got a bird feeder cage that you peg to the ground over the table. It's high enough to hang feeders from, and the smaller birds that you want just go through the gaps. The woodpigeons now only come occasionally to hoover up any seed that's got blown outside the cage - stops the grass turning into a wheat field!!! And they rarely shred any of my plants now. xx Brenda Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17319199253488833078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-74498297331775941382016-03-09T13:04:28.624+00:002016-03-09T13:04:28.624+00:00These bird plates are lovely Barbara and am defini...These bird plates are lovely Barbara and am definitely thinking of joining the Groovi club to give if a try.

I also put little pots of beer behind some of the rocks. I like to think they die happy in a drunken stupor, I don't like to kill anything if I can help it xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094494898782051129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-51654513362272750922016-03-09T06:45:29.686+00:002016-03-09T06:45:29.686+00:00Hello Barb, this is beautiful artwork, and the pla...Hello Barb, this is beautiful artwork, and the plates are beautiful, definitely going on my wish list for a future purchase.

Supposedly everything in nature has it's own niche in the ecosystem, but I've never been able to work out what the world benefits from having slugs and snails.

I have ordered them so might be able to do a pic for her to hang next to them. <br /><br />On the bus today I nearly missed my stop as I was thinking about Groovi plates and wondered if you have in mind for the futures to do a plate with a shoe, handbag and any other fashion accessory that might fit!! I'm sure you must have a long lst of 'to do ' plates though! Hope you get to catch up,with some rest. I suppose you can clean plates sitting down ?!
