Thanks a lot! There are blackbirds here, we call them kos. But there is no pressure, they have wild nature all over. Lots of forest edge, mulch, meadows etc. Of course, they occasionally go through mulch and compost, but it doesn’t do much damage. In suburbs and in urban setting they have problems with dogs, blackbirds and such animals. Also red slugs are a big problem! They are so aggressive, we fortunately don’t have them but there are others and there is not much damage. Again, plenty of nature. But yes, compost is still the best to use on a garden and since i tried it last year i recommend it to everyone, especially in urban setting. Most of garden beds are covered in compost. 🙂 For lasagna gardening, for me autumn leafs are the best for first layer and on paths, i find them extremely useful at weeding from autumn till early summer!
