Goooood Morning all and happy Tuesday.  Now this is Alfie and if you have one of these four legged friends then you are going to be very interested in what I am about to share with you.  Most dog owners know that after their beloved pet has gone to the bathroom on their lawn it probably looks like this.

When really all you want is for your lawn to look like this - lush and green.  Well don't worry Ruddick Garden Gifts has just the solution for you. Interested?  Then read on.........

Dog Rocks are the only 100% natural and convenient solution for burn marks on your lawn.  So you get your pack of dog rocks and the first thing to do is wash them prior to use. The reason for this is that they are natural and come straight from the earth.  One pack is the correct amount for one dog bowl holding up to 2 litres of water.

Keep your dog bowl filled at all times, just like your dog the rocks need water to remain effective.  It is important to let the rocks submerge in the bowl for 10 hours before they will be effective.  Replace them every two months.  Within 3 - 5 weeks you should notice a change in the appearance of your lawn!

Dog rocks work by removing the nitrates from the water, they do not change the ph balance of your dogs urine.  They do not harm your dog and there are no known side effects.  In fact this product is endorsed by vets the world over.  Ella thinks they're great.  Priced at £12.50 per pack why not try them out today by going to our website http://www.ruddickgardengifts.co.uk/gardening-gifts-c1/garden-care-c17/laboratory-tested-dog-rocks-p274 and having a look for yourselves.

Yes it is true - Spring is on it's way!!! We have had some lovely warm sunny days this week which has meant we could get out in the garden - finally!  And it is soooo lovely to see all the spring flowers coming through.  Spring is also the time for bird nesting and if you love nature and wildlife then we at Ruddick Garden Gifts have the perfect item for your garden.  Take a look.......

This is our premium wildlife camera nestbox which would make a truly special gift for anyone who loves nature.  The nestbox is made from FSC timber and comes with all necessary cables and adapters plus full instructions on how to connect it to your television.

The camera module inside the nestbox provides high quality colour images during daylight and automatically switches to black and white in low light/darkness.

The removeable camera means that once the nesting season is over, the camera can be removed and positioned elsewhere in your garden for other wildlife observation such as insect hotels, hedgehog houses or covered bird feeders.

Once the camera has been removed the nestbox provides a welcome retreat for the majority of your garden birds and can be easily cleaned out if necessary.  This is a superb way of watching the birds and wildlife in your garden and is a truly quality item.  Priced at £120.00 with FREE P&P.  To find out more go to
