if its too strong or toxic for the plants

Don't put it on the plants use it as a soil drench you will still get the smell in the required location.

From memory I think the quantity/mix is on the tin.

When looking up the instructions on the tin check if there is a mix for applying directly onto plants if so this could be an alternative method.

Do you think that would work for pigeons too?

I had some trouble with rabbits, a golfing mate told me that the greenkeeper places a jeyes soaked rope around any area he wants to protect. I tried one around a flower bed that the rabbits had taken a fancy to and it worked.

Now we have a problem! as I am the old geezer on the allotments, you cannot really take my advice. ;)

Ace! I mock them to their faces then carefully implement everything they suggest! ;D ;D ;D

whats a soil drench

Just as it says drench the soil with a liquid!

In this case a jeyes fluid mixture.

Fill a watering can with the said mix and soak the soil (not the plants)
