      They're quite effective and you just stick them in the ground by the plant. Birds and squirrels don't run off with them :heehee:

      I've also seen some slate ones that have a small hole drilled through a corner so they can be hung on shrubs and trees with some wire. :blue thumb:

                Ceanothus do seem to have a habit of doing that. I wonder if they're naturally short lived?

                They are notoriously temperamental and most professionals say that you shouldn't expect them to live more than ten years. Some last a lot less and others seem to keep going for ever.
