    My feet hurt.

    What's up with people putting bottles of water in their gardens? What I mean is, the way you see, bottles and ****, I mean full bottles of water left lying down on peoples lawns and stuff. What's the deal with that?

    Near as I can figure is that there's tiny little holes on the underside of bottle, so that very slowly like the water will drip down through the soil, wetting it and ****. You dig?

    Cutting your bollocks off and leaving them in the garden would be a bit extreme just to scare away a few harmless animals.

    My neighbour does this all the time - his little front garden is his pride and joy - but I don't think it works, cos I still get the spiel every time I see him/the wife about how the cats have dug up all their seeds/bulbs/prize specimens.

    It's why my parents do it. Don't think they conducted any scientific studies though regarding effectiveness*.


    *May be wrong on that.
