Another CD myth exploded..

There is a popular theory that unwanted CDs.....


:-)


....make good bird-scarers.....??

Well, sorry to explode another widely-held *belief* about CDs, but the truth
is they actually *don't* - after the brief, initial reaction, when the birds
are greatly impressed by the 'low noise floor' and stupendous 'dynamic
range', rinky-dink convenience factor &c., they appear to become bored by
them and start to ignore them...

Sound familiar...??

LOL!! :-)

They do if you sharpen the edges and throw them at the little buggers!

Quite possibly, but should you need it, I have proof that the 'static
method' certainly doesn't work - see these pix:

Note that in the immediate area of the CDs there is a general lack of
development with low or zero growth and widespread evidence of poor plant
health, compared with the area *furthest away* from the CDs....

Now, if that is not due to attention of birds who are obviously not fazed by
the presence of the disks, I can only put it down to the fact that even
*plants* don't like CDs.....??

(And you can't argue with Nature......???)

You're obviously using the wrong CDs.

Try something by The Stray Cats. That might work!

They do once you learn how to throw them to cause maximum damage.

Asitappens, it was bone dry under the eaves but it's a good point. Thank
you.

Gone now - see this little pic I just done for you:

Here's the main point of the pic though - note the new grass in the
sunlight. It's less than two weeks old - to ensure success with lawn
repairs, put your grass seed in the freezer for a few days before you sow
it. The temperature change triggers germination...

That's a good tip. I need to do some re-seeding. Maybe getting a bit late
now though.

No, now is almost perfect if you are quick enough (in the next week or two -
at the outside) but I can't offer you a *guarantee*....!! ;-)

(Delete the word 'ensure' in my above post and substitute 'increase your
chances of'....)
