]]> Comment on Rats On Allotments by Justin http://farnhamallotments.co.uk/2008/02/24/rats-on-allotments/#comment-617 Sat, 19 Nov 2011 20:48:28 +0000 http://farnhamallotments.wordpress.com/?p=71#comment-617 A few tips….

Egg shells are a definite no-no on compost heaps, rats love them!

Place compost bins, of the plastic variety, away from fences or anywhere that allows rats to reach across and chew the lids.

Ideally, compost bins should be placed on a solid base such as paving slabs to stop rats digging in. Someone told me that this stops composting happening, is this true? If it is, place it on chicken wire (small mesh) to stop them digging in. Please let me know about the solid base thing.

The bees have integrated seamlessly down at the Shepherd and Flock site, you wouldn’t even know they were there! We will have a honey harvest next year from our two hives.

]]> Comment on So that’s what was taking all the strawberries …. by Dave http://farnhamallotments.co.uk/2011/08/07/so-thats-what-what-taking-all-the-strawberries/#comment-597 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 07:52:45 +0000 http://farnhamallotments.co.uk/?p=710#comment-597 I’ve just done a quick search and apparently it’s very common. Mice also love them too. This is one good reason to maybe think about planting them off the ground – I don’t think voles climb that well?

I’ve got bindweed climbing my thistles at the moment. Nothing to report, apart from a belated thank you to Brendon for mending the tap, which appeared to be beyond the capability of Farnham Council.
