Well, It's gone on.... A couple of cans into each of my tardises and about a 3 - 4 inch layer on my open heap.
The garlic and olive-oil smell made me hungry. A robin showed lots of interest and went for a nibble as I departed.
Time will tell whether the rats like it or not, but it has covered over a layer of veg peel that they had been sampling, judging by nibble marks.
