Make a wildlife spiral.

  • Hi I completed my wildlife spiral today

    Regards  Derek

     

  • That’s brilliant, 10 out of 10, it puts mine to shame.

    Build it and they will come.

  • Hi WF   I would say 10 out 10 for yours also I rather like yours for being taller, I was rather lucky with

    logs as i managed to get a local log merchant to cut some to the right length and he only charged £3.

    I have still have a lot to do to my garden, a the moment I am battling with chafer grubs destroying

    all my grass.

    Regards  Derek

     

  • Well I say 11/10 to both of you for getting one done already!!

    I second that!

     

    The necessity of bird-watching is a really good reason for avoiding all forms of housework.

    The dust will still be there tomorrow - the birds may not be!

  • The beauty of yours NandW is it shows others what the spiral should look like.

    If you have a Robin hanging around your garden, throw the chafer grubs to it, it’s like caviar to them.

    Build it and they will come.

    Would that I could, I have a robin in the garden, unfortunately the chafer grubs go along underground eating the

    roots of the grass so you only get to see the dying grass where they have been, would appreciate any ideas.

  • Have a look at this

    I’ve not tried them but they could be a solution.

    Build it and they will come.

  • I cannot believe that you have both finished your spirals. They are both excellent. I haven't even got my logs yet !
