Both mine live up on the lottie now.

I took one from home up the lotty and now I need it back. I'm refusing to buy another since they hiked the price up from £8 to £20

I'm thinking of asking Santa for a Joanna

We have a green cone at home, but I take all the other compostable stuff to the lottie, unless the guinea pigs or hens can eat it, they turn it into good compost

now I've got the hens my one bin at home isn't enough. I need a big bin sharpish but am holding out for Freecycle or Santa

My little Staffy is getting the hang of ratting so if you ever want to borrow her Richy just give us a shout.

i have rat poison down all the year round and just check it now and again , if its gone i just keep putting more down til they stop taking it ie they are dead.
recently the sachet is still there with a little hole in it leading me to think its just mice now.....much eaiser to deal with.

sorry compost queen, too late :cry: ... I'm swapping it with the old boy across from my plot for some gooseberry cuttings.

Minty, if you fancy training the staffy on rabbits we're plagued with em on our plots.

I'm also gonna put bait down (safely for non rodents) on my home garden, i've pullets on order for spring so want to keep vermin to the minimum.
