Gardeners advised to use bar of soap in lawns this December for important reason

Sprinkling grated soap around your garden has a surprising benefit.

Anyone with a garden knows how frustrating it can be when their plants are damaged by garden pests or invasive native wildlife. Animals such as squirrels, mice, rats, foxes and even deer often find themselves in domestic gardens looking for food over the colder months as the usual plants they feed on grow more scarce, the Daily Express reports.

However, the good news is that one very common - and cheap - household item can be used to deter cheeky wildlife and keep them away from your plant beds: a simple bar of soap. "Opt for fresher soap, too: the longer it sits out, the more it loses that initial powerful aroma. If your bar's scent seems to be fading, cut it into chunks to release more fragrance.”

However, there are some garden visitors that you definitely should feed in winter. Namely, blackbirds. Gardeners who regularly see blackbirds in their garden have been given a warning by ornithology experts.
