I do agree with Jo - smearing is not the answer. I do think VM should seriously consider the sinking into the ground method with whatever it is that can bring it up for maintenance. This would be the best solution. I cannot be the only person that has the boxes within 10 metres of my house. Not only are these boxes unsightly but they do attract the errant kids in the neighbourhood. I have actually seen a 6 year old drag a ladder to enable her to perch on one of these boxes. - To me, this is totally unacceptable. I cannot be held responsible for this type of action and neither is VM but if the boxes weren't there then the problem wouldn't be there either!! I am sorry for the engineers etc that have to maintain these boxes with what is deposited on/around these things - think how much better it would be for them if the equipment was sunk into the ground and they had the facility to raise them to work on them - I am sure this would not be a cost prohibitive exercise. It can't be that difficult to faciliate. I will be depositing the chicken pellets over the weekend because it will help ME to have a NORMAL life and a quiet weekend. If anyone had a better, less offiensive idea, let me know.
