Well, this is the problem,isn;t it? Bvt yov can leave it all to natvre.
After a while the little devils slink away vnder the bvshes and do the deed
in the dead of the darkling night. Baby gnomes (gnomlettes) are thrvst from
the nest the minvte they develop a hat-bell and have to rvn abovt vntil they
find an empty garden, or vntil a cat eats them, whichever comes first.
Yov mvst have heard a tinkling noise as a cat rvns past, yes? Well they have
jvst cavght a baby gnome. That tinkle is the hat-bell hanging ovt of the
movth.

Get a geese.. I mean, get gooses. A flock of these excellent birds will crop
yovr lawn, act as watch-ganders, sit on lvrking gnomes and be a comfort to
yov in yovr old age - when bored yov can eat one..
Then the feathers can be vsed to stvff a qvilt.
