I can't remember who first alerted me to this method but they really do work well. <br />I am much lazier than you though Peggy!

Also if you can get cheap plastic snakes lay them around the garden....I thought I would need a lot of these for blackberries but looks like that last freeze killed a lot of the fruit.Tracy Bruringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17680058756528755356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977509261429741652.post-50829837793981020772009-05-11T20:02:00.000+01:002009-05-11T20:02:00.000+01:00Aisling:Havent seen any magpies out there!
