🌼🌿 Spring’s here, and so are those pesky garden intruders—rats! But fear not, gardening guru Monty Don has a simple solution to keep these unwanted guests at bay. 🐀🚫
The secret weapon? Compost! While it’s fab for your garden, it might just be what’s attracting those rodents. Here’s what you need to know:
🔍 Monty reveals that composting can be a haven for rats if you’re not careful with what you toss in. Stick to plant-based ingredients, and give a big ‘No’ to meat, fats, or cooked stuff like potatoes, rice, or pasta.
🥗🌱 Compost should be like a recipe, says Monty—one that enriches your soil without inviting critters. Keep it natural, focus on plant material, and you’ll be on the right path.
🌡️🥵 Gardening legend Alan Titchmarsh backs this up, pointing out that compost heaps are especially inviting due to the heat they generate. So, avoid adding processed foods or anything cooked. They decompose slowly, create odours, and scream “Come on in!” to rats.
