Hammered sausages.

Bad news. The Cumberland/peperami combo is still untouched. I even microwaved it before I inserted it.

At the rate you're going with sausages, I might stalk you for some free meat.

[MadmanO/T People]

Looks like this myth has been busted!

[JRewing]

My in laws just gave me a blank look when I tried to explain it to them

[Ayahuasca]

I think you need to hammer them deeper in.

Maybe using some kind of sausage extension to push it down further.

If you leave a bit protruding all the bears need to is pull them out like bloody carrots.

Just seen this - I'm the originator of the meme...

Top marks for effort OP, but summer is king it seems.

I also think that seagulls are some of the main contributors.

Lastly, the damage you have enabled is disastrous to someone who puts more effort into their lawn than the groundsmen at Wimbledon...

Sorry for not updating the sausage saga, my lad was in a musical production at school, and this has taken a lot of my weekend.
Nothing has been disturbed in the gardens,so I'm calling a break till late spring/summer. No seagulls our way, has to be rats or foxes.

Perhaps the local wildlife is picky and you need to cook them first and then freeze them

Or they're a bit more upmarket and require some M&S sausages to get them really going.

The cumberland which was a tescos finest remains untouched.

I appreciate your efforts OP but this was a huge let-down

[MissChief]

I suspect something set up in March or April would have craters in his lawn within a week. It's just not the right time of year.

[MadmanO/T People]

An easier method of revenge is to simply write rude words on their lawn with weed killer. Takes a few days for the effect to be seen, by which time you are long gone!

[gtidriver]

Sorry to let everyone down it was fun having a go though.

This needs to be resurrected and tried again. With the warmer temperatures and the likelihood of more food being required to feed little ones I think we may get a very different result. Any volunteers?

[gtidriver]

I'm back on the case then,the gardeners have been and dug over the communal area and cut the lawns so this should stay undisturbed for a while, also the land next to my garage will be a drive way next weekend so that are can be used for this week as well.

Excellent. I commend your dedication to PH folklore.

Perfect time of year to do it now, as long as we don't have a hard frost for a few days you could end up with the start of a sausage tree by the end of the month

[iwantagta]

Brilliant work OP.

I'm staking my reputation that within 2 years a beautiful and tasty sausage tree will have grown.

[gtidriver]

This is what's left of the last sausage that I planted, the Cumberland with the peperami wedged on it.
It still has a sausage colour to it and I disturbed some worms having a feast on it, when I dug it up and it stinks.

Well done o/p! So now the control experiment is over, what's next?
