Stop moving the cows round the country and that will stop the TB spreading. Badgers get a raw deal and I'm yet to be convinced they are responsible for it passing onto cows.
for the past 3 days i have moved most of my pots and tubs undercover due to all the rain we are having...had a problem sorting the sink out as it only has the plug hole for drainage and if that gets water logged i shall lose all the plants in it so ive put 2 garden chairs each side and put a black bag over the chairs just to protect it a bit...next doors peonies have taken a right battering..such a shame because they looked lovely..
Astoness, if the the soil in the sink gets too wet it is very easy to drain it. Get a piece of cloth, a square or a strip will do, wet it and poke one end, or corner, a little way into the wet soil. Lay the rag out so that the other end is near or touching the ground. Capillary action and gravity will draw the excess water out of the sink and onto the ground.
