A house I'm hoping to put an offer on in the morning has a massive Privet hedge in the back garden, my web search says the berries are poisonous.
Do any of you have it in your gardens, do they touch it? |

We have it all around our garden & have had chickens for 4 years with no problems. They don't seem to eat it anyway. I think most of them know what's good & bad for them. 
Good luck with your offer! |

I did get the offer accepted, but its been underpinned 10yrs ago and it looks that we will be restricted to using the original insurers who rectified the underpinning as no other insurer seems to want to cover it even without subsidance cover.
I think we're flogging a dead horse on this one. All my lovely holiday is being taken up on the phone and im feeling very weary over the house already. not a good omen |
