Blue Slug Pellets - A Killer
SLUG PELLETS containing METALDEHYDE are usually dyed blue. They are lethal to hedgehogs and other wildlife that eat the poisoned slugs. Place out of reach i.e. under slates or inside short lengths of piping. Dead slugs must be removed daily. It's worth trying 'nemaslug' if you want to control slugs. http://www.nemasysinfo.com/ or If you really need to use Blue Pellets, only use a few around the plant and NOT hundreds and turn your soil blue. Beer Traps are another great idea and they really work. Beer Traps can be picked up cheaply and for around 99p each.

Please Feed The Birds
RSPB is appealing for people to spare a thought for those birds who need our help to survive. So please make sure that you feed the Birds on your allotment and at home.
Give fresh clean water and add a suet feeder to your bird feeder collection. Suet provides an extra fat source for birds feeding in winter.
