    Garlic.

    A mate of mine used to break a couple of garlic bulbs up and put the cloves into a small net(like the ones you put washing powder tablets in)he had this in his young bird drinkers daily,only changing them every couple of weeks.It worked well for him,he was premier prizewinner many times. Also some put a small bulb into a bottle of cyder vinegar(breaking into cloves first) and add this to a 4pint drinker at the rate of 20mls twice a week.
  5. Very dull here with no wind,got up early to let the birds out but will have to leave it until later on.
  6. Cloudy and damp with heavy rain during the night,but forecast is good for the rest of the day.
