Title: Diseased and disordered pests.
Post by: derbex on December 13, 2004, 15:19:18
of the 2-legged variety have been at our site twice in the last week. I got away with a bit of flattened fence and some 'firming' (I hope) of the garlic bed, but others weren't so lucky. Several sheds were turned over or had doors kicked in, smashed glass, gates &c.

I wonder if it's treatable with a comfrey tea spray, or even recycled beer & wine ,We've got an old lawn sprayer, maybe that and a tripwire. Hit them in the shell suits where it hurts.

My daughter has built a 'special statue to chop the baddies heads off', out of old bits of angle iron amd other junk. I think it'll need an Igor moment* to do any good though.

Maybe if we have a really harsh winter, all those nasty pests will perish.
