    hi DoveFromAbove I have a piranha plant and it's eating my hydrangeas like quite brutal, do you know if there's a treatment or poison I could use to stop their cruel sport

    Hi Asif - the only known pesticide for piranha plants is obtained from the poison dart frog (details here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poison_dart_frog)  . 

    You have to rub it onto the tips of your arrows and aim carefully.  

    You can probably make a bow and arrows  when you've finished making one of these https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMp4JKcz5kE  image

    I agree with Dove, that's going to be your only option.  Best take care of it while it's still young, and you still have any hydrangeas left.

    Oops, I was so eager to post a reply to a question I could answer, that I forgot to introduce myself !

    i have small front and back gardens in Essex, so mild climate with a mix of clay and gravel soil.  Gradually I've filled the beds with shrubs - evergreen and not, and perennials.  I just add seasonal colour with wall baskets and pots, which I plonk in the middle of a bed, using tall containers to add height.

    anyway gardening is my passion and I could go on all day....   In fact my main worry is that my posts will be too long, I'm not very good at précis.

    Welcome to the forum Erics Mumimage

    I don't think you have to introduce yourself although it's nice to hear about new members and their gardens.image

    I'm intrigued though- why does your front garden amuse the neighbours?

    Ooh how come I haven't found this before?



    I've a front garden and largish town back garden, both been neglected by previous owners so lots of weeds. I've already posted lots and thankful of responses.



    I'm also a fellow Suffolk one but currently in East Midlands. Hope you took your passport Doveimage
