(lack of finance)<br />I do have ducks already though and I can tell you that they will eat the greens in the garden, noa all of them though...and they will step around with their big clumsy feet. I usually fence off a portion of the garden for them to be free in, or I watch them closely!!<br />ps check out the start of my pond post if you want <br />http://omnatura-lightfootprint.blogspot.com/Omnaturahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00543846765159165032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-602250472916777531.post-60252971467754385762012-01-05T08:22:34.037-08:002012-01-05T08:22:34.037-08:00Some great ideas!

I've seen and heard of lots of gardens where keeping ducks works really well for keeping the slugs at bay, so I'm keen to give it a try. Maybe it's to do with breed of duck or the kind of food they're used to eating before you buy them or something. Not sure. If the worst comes to the worst I guess I could at least cover up any vulnerable plants while they're out.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14399431490690923877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-602250472916777531.post-43421699297761184182011-12-30T10:36:33.964-08:002011-12-30T10:36:33.964-08:00That sounds exciting and very interesting.
