    Karen, a long day. Yes, you are right. I assigned the extra stomach to the wrong set of legs! But you got my drift…. thanks

    Karen, i understand that cow manure will have more seeds than horse manure simply because of the extra digestion cows give their food due to that additional stomach. Horses don’t digest their food to the same degree, evidenced by their droppings when largely undigested food can be seen.

    Hi Al P, I had some of my leaves being chomped about as well so i used my concoction that i made up comprising 1 onion, 1 head garlic and 3 large spoonfuls of cayenne pepper, blended in water, sieved and applied to leaves with a small handheld spray device. Can substitute chilli powder for cayenne if you wish. They don’t come near it, well perhaps just the once. Leaves are now untouched. It’s become my ‘go to’ for leaf munchers, including slugs….better than resorting to chemicals.
