Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

What minor disaster has befallen you today?

Bought a dozen dahlias. Planted them. Checked for slugs an hour later - none. Late afternoon - none. Mid-evening as I was going out for a run: 26 found and killed, two plants looking very damaged. A good hour later, on returning: 18 found and killed, one plant unlikely to survive. I have put down poison.

I had a hole drilled through my toenail when it was supposed to only go into it. It hurt a bit even though it was a tiny drill.

I was at a chiropodist - I think she slipped a bit :-o

[I once made a hole in my thumbnail using the heated end of a paper clip to relieve the pressure under the nail - quicker and more convenient than a trip to the see the health centre nurse]

I didn't know that. I shall stop using them forthwith.

Chris - they might be ok - just as long as they don't contain metaldehyde. Raffo occasionally uses organic slug pellets containing ferric phosphate - this is legal.
