It was the OH that put those on. Last year i used cable ties, in pairs so I didn't crush the stem.Hi Big clown, As you said i don't think it will get very much taller
One thing the Plastic thing holding the sunflower to the stick it will damage the stem of the plant Use soft cotton or string it much kinder to the stem

Hi Three fingers , You made me feel real bad now I have tried the other methods but they are not that great at killing slugs and snails .Nematodes are not allowed on the Allotment ?? plus the cost But i will have a rethink about using the pellets Well our small birds do need help and they are good for the garden with all the bugs they eatNice one getting flowers already Bigclown, you'll get tasty sunflower seeds before me! Or just leave them for the birds.
Greenfinger2, maybe try beer traps, nematodes, copper tape or woollen slug pellets for the slugs? Slug pellets are a real pet hate of mine, I especially hate the ones branded as "organic" as after doing some research on them I came to the conclusion they are just as dangerous as the other ones when it comes to hedgehogs, frogs and birds. Not to mention the potential negative affect on the soil microbes (which are overlooked by most gardener a, but are just as important as they are our fish tanks IMO)
My neighbour uses loooads of them around his lettuce and I really feel sorry for my local thrush population .
