Ken's been looking things up to see what other solutions might be out there.<br /><br />jean, I thought of you when I posted that! The hazelnuts go into cakes where we would otherwise use walnuts.<br /><br />diogenes, thanks, I'll look that up. We used it back in California do deal with an overpopulation of snails and it worked well.<br /><br />starman, hehehe.wcshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551283829616757577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-47761185966839250552010-02-14T19:38:40.202+01:002010-02-14T19:38:40.202+01:00Well, if you can't trust Diogenes.....Well, if you can't trust Diogenes.....Starmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12386841450183061541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-33066468998564765422010-02-14T16:57:06.438+01:002010-02-14T16:57:06.438+01:00Well, one solution might be diatomaceuos earth. I...Well, one solution might be diatomaceuos earth. It is a white powder sold in most garden centers, and it is the naturally occuring remains of ocean micro-organisms. Any insect (or weevil) that crawls through it will perish, and it doesn't take much.<br /><br />You can sprinkle it on the base of your tree trunks. To the trees, it's a mild fertilizer. It's harmless to pets and animals and good for plants - only bad for crawling insects.Diogenesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-22405040211347082742010-02-14T13:11:22.808+01:002010-02-14T13:11:22.808+01:00Walt, thanks for the cute photo of the Renault 4.

They got out of control at some point and we haven't done anything to get them back under control.

We haven't done anything either and it seems fine, but each year may be different. We harvested 3 fruit boxes of nuts and decided that was enough. The rest were left for the wildlife. We are about halfway through shelling them - an activity for when you are sitting in front of the fire watching telly.<br /><br />Can't wait to see what deliciousness you produce with them. So far we've just eaten them raw and frozen lots for later.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06472449597146519943noreply@blogger.com
