We don't have wild sweet lovely little hedgehogs here in the USA but I do get a mother opossum who has wintered under my fig tree for a couple of winters. (Both the fig tree and the 'possum are unusual in my cold neck of the woods; maybe they like my tiny garden's hospitality.) If I would win one of your lovely bags, I know I will be too, er, selfish to share it this time around. I'd be so happy and proud to keep it for my own modest outings. My 67th birthday is coming in August; I'm so happy I'm finally recovering from the flu TWO TIMES this spring. Stay well and happy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-49033640556256466652014-06-20T09:30:06.686+01:002014-06-20T09:30:06.686+01:00Hi Laura.

There are Scrapstores all over the country, they collect materials from factories that produce goods, the bits that they throw away, end of line, offcuts, etc. Then they sell it for a few pence to anyone, for crafting purposes.

Well done. Bet your recipients will be tickled :)<br />I save clay flower pots with cracks or chips, knock a bigger chunk from the rim, turn it over in a shady garden spot, and invite frogs/toads to move in. No idea if they actually use them, but I saw something similar for sale in a garden shop once, so nothing ventured...and it's another way to use something that would be going to the dump otherwise.<br />Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292701509476856967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-81714120481418161222014-06-19T19:01:56.646+01:002014-06-19T19:01:56.646+01:00I do use egg shells around the plants.
