Barbra, train the dog not to.

As simple as that :-))

Better still ..... dig a hole and plant the dog.....

LOL sick or what?

No dogs can be trained. When I was in Camp Hill Prison a House Burglar told
me he would never break into a house if there was a dog there. "Why
frightened of dogs?" 'No, the damn things bark and can wake the owner'

Dog. Man's best friend

Drugged meat or a bag of wet sand the burglars best friend

So how did you escape?

And/or painting the stems with chilli sauce - the stuff made of
mashed up chillis.

Gives the rabbit stew a je ne sais pas quoi too

Cut the top and bottom off 2 litre pop bottles then cut up the length, they
will close down like plant sleeves and will protect the stems from
chewing/strimmer damage etc, and at the price (Free) just cant be bettered.

Isn't there a deposit on them in UK?

Come quick Jenny, there's money to be made :-)

I still remember watching Dutch guys with a camper in Greece
collecting Belgian PEP Spa bottles from the beach to take back to NL
to collect the 50Cent deposits.

When I was doing my National Service back in 1958, those who had joined as
regulars had a lot more money than us (we had 10 shillings a fortnight, 50
pence to you youngsters), we would take 'their' Coke bottles back to Naafi
and have the 3d deposit. By agreement of course !!! But of course these were
the days when one met a girl, courted, got engaged, got married, got a house
and THEN had children. During the 2 years of National Service we saved
sufficient for the deposit on a house, so when I came out, we had a roof
over our heads, BEFORE we had a family.

OK so I am an old square, but I know where I would rather be now :-)))))))

I love climbing plants, such as Clematis, Honeysuckle etc., but my 2 year
old Jack Russell likes chewing the barks and they die. Actually she does
it
to everything apart from plants I have in containers, so is it OK to plant
climbers in containers ?

Barbra


Clematis are perfectly happy in large tubs
In fact in my garden they do much better in tubs than in the ground
I tend to plant 3 Clematis in each tub with varying flowering times and
right now they are all well in leaf

Why do you not either train the dog, or get rid of it?

Babs,

cut the little rats throat right to the spine. I can assure you of
success. It won't damage another plant.
