Talkback: Garden birds and their predators

, I don't like cats or the mess they leave, but laser guns, spikes on fences, get a grip, or better still a springer spaniel. Birds in poor condition because they lack nutrition are far more vulnerable to predation by cats, keep feeding, especially by Harry Hilly

Whitefly

a lot of damage unless they're in serious numbers. There's also a tiny wasp predator called Encarsia Formosa which you can buy. The problem with using predators like these is the cost (they don't come cheap) and there is always a minimum temperature by COGIE

Primula - growing from seed

. Ideally they should be winter chilled, so I have sown them in pots in winter and covered them with a tile to stop predating mice etc., and then lifted the tile off in February and brought them into a cold greenhouse to germinate, spraying occasionally by nikki 7

Talkback: Dragonfly nymphs

or spawn in. These creatures only breed in water, most of the year they are terrestrial. The moment they climb out of the pond and down onto the playground, they will be picked off by predators or succumb to drought and starvation. Dragonfly nymph invasion by kaycurtis
