Talkback: Garden wildlife
gardens are good for wildlife - the bees would be in an even more sorry state than they are in now if it wasn't for the nectar they get from our flowering plants. They have to be chosen with care and looked after to give a good show and lotsof nectar by Bradleys garden

I've got my work cut out this year then. One hedgerow is riddled with the stuff. It's going to be a tough fight to get the lot to die. Carefully digging between the roots of the hedge is a big job alone. We have two large sections 4x4 metres by Dunstergardener

unwanted willow tree
wildlife-friendly such as a crab apple in its place.  Does anyone know how I can get rid of it organically?  I don't mind leaving a stump but don't want it to re-grow and I don't use any harmful chemicals in my garden.  I tried giving it a severe haircut by raggedrobin

in under the wind damage article but I think it belongs here too (it involves wildlife and damage!). I thought my pansies were being dug up by a blackbird collecting mud to glue her nest together (I had seen her at it, having been cursing cats and doing by sarahs pond life
