Re: Coffee Grinds

I bought some copper tape and wrapped it around the pots and it seems to be having a good effect. I also bought some organic pellets which are not harmful to pets , bees or birds etc and they appear to be working. Mind you, I did remove fifty odd slugs and snails the other night so that's got to help too.

Well I didn't kill them (I try not to kill anything) but I sent them on a little trip over to one of my neighbour's then placed a line of organic pellets along the top of the wall in case they decide to make their way back. It's what neighbours are for.

They were all tangled up together in a ball (a bit like one of your parties).

Re: Coffee Grinds

Still laughing here Vlad

My neighbour in my last house wasn't keen on my cats using her garden and she read somewhere that coffee grinds seem to deter them....anyway it turns out my cats like coffee
