        You need a motion detector sprinkler:

        [​IMG]

        It would also be useful against:

        1) Unauthorised persons using your parking area
        2) Partying revellers attacking your tomato plants
        3) Drunk drivers who've crashed into your front garden
        4) Crab pot thieves
        5) Postmen taking unauthorised shortcuts

          I convert any that come into my garden into joints in the freezer :blue thumb:

          However, the method I use is not really suitable against:

          1) Unauthorised persons using your parking area
          2) Partying revellers attacking your tomato plants
          3) Drunk drivers who've crashed into your front garden
          4) Crab pot thieves
          5) Postmen taking unauthorised shortcuts

          :heehee:

            Ahhh Zigs, your luck seems to have disappeared again recently. It's a good job as you say that you haven't planted everything up yet, surely there must be someone you can contact to get something done about them.

              I've read about that method of curing stuff on some of those dodgy 'hydroponics' forums.

                "Suitable" is such an 'objective' word; don't you think? :whistle:
