re: mice in the peat pots... Actually, I've had the same thing happen some winters. I'll pull out a stack of pots only to find that the mice have partly eaten them as well as living in them and filling them full of bits of insulation and other goodies. Fortunately, it doesn't really matter too much if they damage them a bit when you aren't really using them for their intended purpose. I think that the worst thing the barn mice ever did around here was to chew through the leather cinch strap on the right hand side of a Western saddle one winter. Come spring, I threw the saddle on my horse's back, flipped the cotton girth under the horse's belly and tightened up the cinch on the left side. Everything seemed just fine and dandy so I hopped on board and away we trotted. However, just down the lane a bit as we attempted a turn into the field, the saddle and I parted company with my horse and ended up in the ditch...LOL!! A pox on all mice I say!!! Croc...;-}>
