Hi, my little girl's birthday is coming up. I've come across butterfly hatching kits sponsored by the Buttefly Conservation charity like Giant...
Hi all, I'm trying to make my (very overgrown :whistle:) garden more wildlife-friendly. Currently tackling a strip of land between the house wall...
yeah I did just think of wood! I've got some pieces of old tree roots lying about the garden. It was a cotoneaster tree that suddenly dried up and...
just a posh word for a thicket of trees :biggrin: basically what's left of the vast sprawling forests of deep Hertfordshire! :sick0026:
KingEd - you are my hero! :love30: I posted this on several forums and you're the only person who's replied! Yes I know a larger container is...
Hi folks, This is a long one so please bear with me :wub2: I've talked myself into helping my son's class hatch some frog spawn. The school's...
oh ok, so the bulbs like to be cool whilst dormant? And dryish, yes? Well when my tiny trees have grown a bit I'll certainly stick some snowdrops...

I got my wormery from the Herts recycling authority whatever it's called, there's a forum on there and I did ask about putting pet/baby poo and...
the problem is, a lot of the time what people think of as a weed is also a wild flower or wild grass :) I would maaaybe get rid of...
I have a question too, suppose I was to weaken the existing lawn in my front garden by either cutting it very very low, or even taking off the...
I've always wanted to convert my lawn into a meadow! I hate monoculture, I don't like the look of a close-shaven lawn, and I really don't...
thanks Zigs :)
Hi folks, does anyone know whether it's ok to put enzyme-based compost makers (such as Bokashi, Garotta and suchlike) straight into the wormery?...
Hi folks, sorry if I'm resurrecting an old thread, I've had a wormery for just over a year and been rather pleased with it. Just wanted to say,...
That may be, if you do prune them heavily and take canes out. I won't have time for doing it all by the book for another 5 years if not more....
