The greatest annoyance from birds is their unsatisfiable taste for new seedlings. I don't mind birds 'messing' about the place but the aforesaid habit of theirs just drives me crazy. The other day I took a check on my sunflower seedlings and found that the healthiest one was wilting. It was only after a good lot of detection that I found out what had happened. The plant stalk was tied in three places to a stick and leaving the upper two supports, there was no sign of the stem beneath that. I guess the culprit couldn't pull out the entire plant and so had to be content with the little it got. The remaining stem lasted in water for two days.
After that I decided to give some sort of protection to other seedlings. Net held with sticks was no use since the wind could blow it down very easily. Metal net I couldn't get. Plain sticks stuck in the soil rotted away at the base. But then this brainwave came to me : Why Not Use A Laundry Bag? And so this is how the whole thing came about and now my little seedlings are as safe as in a bank vault. Laundry bags are easy to get(almost every household has them) , easy to store and best of all ready to use. So go ahead and try this!
They purify the air - Succulents, like snake plant and aloe vera, are excellent at cleansing the air and removing toxins.Karachi plants NASA's research found that they are able of removing 87 percent of volatile organic compounds (VOC).
