My Grandad used to use broken glass a hundred years ago
buried just under the soil to stop rats etc.
I used it when I built a pigeon loft many years ago (no rats)

Does anyone use this method today,I wonder ?

The vertical bars are 1" apart

I've heard of it. But haven't heard of this method being used recently

We just did this, but Mr Rat dug the glass into the hen house. Lucky I had no cut feet!
