To learn!!!!!
I've been sticking upside down empty plastic pop bottles on top of canes I have around my allotment plot, initially to save me poking my eye out when weeding.
Because I didn't have enough netting some of my brassicas were planted in various positions and not covered.
Some have been munched by pigeons and some not and I couldn't understand why until the penny dropped. The noise of the bottle rattling around on the cane must have spooked the pigeons in the unpecked areas.
I intend adding quite a few more canes and bottles from now on!
