for years now fishing pond owners have been using this technique to stop the dreaded blue algae which at one time a few years ago was a big problem ,many animals were killed drinking the water expensive carp were dieing in thousands and we were warned to keep children away from it the Barley corn works stuff the EU

Hi Gill a short time ago a lady ( i tried to find her name but can,t) placed this advise
on our site and we are using it and a big yes,, place the slug pellets into the top af a jam jar,place this under a 10/12 inch tunnel of rain guttering (plastic is quite cheap)a brick on top or fasten it down so hedgehogs cant get to them leave one or both ends open and there you go it worked for us after 2 nights and gets better every day,good luck Alan4711

Midges/mosquito help!!!

Hi Luubear last year on the allotments i was bitten and it was very painful and some bites really swelled up , we were advised that Skin so soft by Avon works so we tried it and yes it worked just great, now almost the whole allotment use it we also found that our forces abroad use it,(true) Avon don't claim it to be anything but a skin care product but i can tell you for midges including huge horse flies it worked better than everything else ,we now keep it in the allotment shed and at home and its not expensive, if you dont get a reaction from it and no one here did it might be worth trying good luck
