Edible Gardening

I think I can recollect something similar about using mothballs Doubt if you can buy them these days. The EU's probably banned them!

I've put some in the parcel just incase :thumb:

I never thought of the birds, I saw a Strawberry (in hanging basket)in someone's garden last year, There was loads of fruit trailing down, untouched by the birds, she also said it was just an ordinary every day Strawberry.. It Looked Gorgeous...
