I keep finding the BBs.Can't leave them there lol.I've only done 4.Have 3 in my gardens.Still have lots of room for more Ha Ha. The ceiling globes I was going to try to fill them with cement and break the globe to make cement balls. Was thinking maybe the next BB will be covered with Buttons. And yes Kudzkween.....Lots of Christmas presents!! ~~Rotty~~

You make a strong case and could very well be right. It wouldn't be the first time I tried something because I REALLY wanted it to work. I did a little more googling and came up with the following user comments: http://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=95309: I've heard different opinions on them, some people say theyre just a gimmick. They are supposed to make the predator think they are being watched and spook them, thus they leave, or do not enter the area. It's worth a try, so I got one. I'll let you know, I guess. I know a gentleman whose property is part river frontage, and he swears by the thing. Says he used to have huge losses to predators at that edge of his property by every kind of predator imagineable, and it has stopped. There's nothing in it for him to be giving me a line of garbage, so I believed him, thats why I'm gonna try it! (He has goats, pigs, all manner of poultry, exotics, dogs, cats, even emus) http://www.alpacanation.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=8382: We have been pleased with both the product and with customer service when we had a problem with one of the units. (second message at same link) I have them on fence-posts facing into the woods, roughly at about 3 feet up on the post....about eye-level to a very large dog. We have a lot of coyotes around here, but have not seen or heard one nearby the last two years...about as long as I have had the Nite-Guard boxes up. I will get some more when we expand the pastures this spring as I believe they work. http://www.amazon.com/Nite-Guard-Solar-Powered-Predator-NG-001/product-reviews/B0014FGT8C/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1: Three of four amazon.com users said they worked for them. The fourth said they donÂt work on beavers. (end of reviews) But then again, before trying coyote urine I saw some hopeful reviews, and that strategy didn't work for me. Will let you all know in a few months, when the snow melts and the pond is running. Signed: hopefulinminneapolis

beautiful pond lisa. and dog! I'm actually going to buy a pond FOR my dogs. we're doing a flagstone area and will incorporate the pond into it for the dogs (3 boxers) to cool off in, since we have little by little taken over their backyard space with a garden, etc. it's only going to be a 125 gal with 35 gal spillway. should be enough to entertain them and get their drinks. We have a kiddie pool but it has to be emptied daily and only 2 of them will go in it. I'm thinking with a pump a pond will stay cleaner and the moving water won't get stagnant like the kiddie pool?

I received my box from Drippy once I returned home from being out of town for over a week....It was received but I wasn't here to open it...... What a LOVELY box it is! It included: A bag of Lilium bulbs (so many and I have the perfect spot for them) A bag of Caladium bulbs (going in my red bed) A bag of Park Princess Dahlia's (will go in my flower bed dedicated to my mother and brother) A bag of Freesia hybrid bulbs (going in a new bed that has small hosta's) A bag of Tricyrtis (Toad Lilies)(also in red bed) Ipomopsis seeds and Convolvulus seeds, a hummingbird feeder and a BIG fairy solar powered globe that lights up at night! DH was impressed with the entire box! I think he enjoys them as much as I do. WOW! AWESOME BOX!!!!! It will all get planted very soon, once I recover from the trip. Thank you soooo much Drippy, you know how to pack a box girl! I appreciate it all and LOVE IT! I'm still waiting on something I ordered that has been back ordered so don't give up on me just yet...thanks for your patience and for being so generous! Jaye
