Blog: Digging the dirt
Posted by: Green Fingers Wednesday 28th February 2007, 3:50pm

Pigeons and cats.....

I did venture briefly into the garden for the last couple of days, but it was to dig in some manure - yes manure not compost. I was given some by an uncle, who had gone berserk and over ordered. So, I managed to spread and dig in between the showers and then stood back to admire my handwork and feel the joys of backache too!

However, I have two problems at the moment, the first being a pair of wood pigeons looking to roost in a shrub in the corner. The trouble is that I have a evergreen clematis growing through it and last year pigeons (same pair?) damaged the clematis. I tried canes and string around the shrub, but it didn't really work.

My other problem is that next door has a new cat and they've finally began to let it out and of course it comes straight into my garden to do its' business. I've been using a type of green gel that you scatter over the garden which is good for a couple of days, then you have to repeat (not cheap). Also, they seem to suck up the rain and you end up with big green blobby lumps everywhere!. I would be grateful for any (cheaper) ideas and before anyone mentions it, lion poo is a no go!
