Re: Easy to grow summer veggies, plastic snakes, and pinwheels

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

I have heard from a variety of sources here lately that suspending a number
of cd's on strings will repel birds and such. I am going to try it as soon
as I can get certain cd's from my son Colin... lol.
