I just wanted to let you all know I have decided to retire from Marty's Garden and the online world of gardening. I want to thank everyone for their support over the years. Everyone has been awesome and it's been an amazing journey of over 15 years I will close this account in a couple of days. I recommend that you reach out to any new friends and get their details so you can keep contact with them. Sending lots of love to you all. Marty & Sherly

Hi all. With the sad new of @Marty Ware retirement and the hub closing. I decided to make my own. It’s called Home Grown Gardening. Hopefully Marty will join to and visit us there. Hope to see you all there. Here’s a link https://www.skool.com/home-grown-gardening-1164/about?ref=a106e22b1dcd443389c8e6f24403855f

These pesky little things are chewing through my netting to get into garden beds and then eating the squash, the chillies, the green tomatoes. Even digging under a metal basket ive put over the cos lettuce to eat that as well. I decided im putting way too much effort into feeding the local mice population and needed to try traps as my husband was dead against the poison option due to our dog. Yesterday I bought 6 little traps. Set them up with cheese because I really didnt know what else to use and placed them around inside and outside netted beds. This morning I have 2 traps that were set off (cheese gone and no mice caught), 3 traps still set up with the cheese gone and 1 trap untouched with cheese insitu. Does anyone have any tips on setting up traps? Is there a better option than cheese?

😬 I'm happy enough to starts a Facebook group if anyone wishes to stay in contact
