We'll give it a few days, herd the chooks all round the edges to get any stray ones, then unplant the other garden into this one and let the chooks in to clean up that one too.... le sigh. But after that, we can plant out seedlings in safety. :DLeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847491402442204726.post-66215430789267626612010-09-17T18:13:12.416+08:002010-09-17T18:13:12.416+08:00Hi Barb,

I did succumb and sprinkle some poison for slaters down and lo and behold, problem gone. *sigh* I very rarely use anything like this and hate to. Perhaps I should try the hot water idea. Problem it, I'm also a lazy gardener. :-)<br /><br />Love your blog. Just found the link on frugals.<br /><br />JodiLighteninghttp://www.lighteningonline.comnoreply@blogger.com
