We have farm fields to one side and opposite our house and a big wood just beyond the bottom of the garden, but in the year of having the trialcam, that was our first and only rat. It's not been seen since the 18th, so perhaps I chased it, or one of the many cats that pass through the wood, got...

My oldest wheelbarrow may have fitted your criteria as it had a few holes but they were from rust. There was one drawback with it. The wheel that was on it rusted off last year . It went into the skip with the old greenhouse that was falling down.The greenhouse was only 50 years old and the...

The bed is 6m x 1/2m two strips. Bit expensive and labour intensive with straw. Vine weevil I did not know about, I'll look that up. I will dig out the older plants and let the new suckers take over.
