Talkback: Plants on railway embankments

I used to enjoy part of my commute to work; the embankments would hold a host of wildlife. Some days I may see a family of fox cubs at play, another the flash of a jay's wing or woodpecker.More recently I went on a longer train journey by hereisabee

realy big empty garden

is an ideal, and very practical strategy. Personally I can't understand how anyone could buy a significant amount of land if they were not intending to make it into a wildlife friendly area. A meadow works best if the grass can be cut or strimmed once a year by Diana Reynolds

Talkback: Feeding the birds

Poor little mouse. The profusion of ctas in my areas bugs the life out of me. Endless destruction of borders, faeces in the soil, dead birds. I cannot fathom why people (especially wildlife enthusiasts!!) keep these dreadful animals as house pets by Grannyanne

Ornamental grasses

's garden at Chelsea had not a single ornamental grass in it this year so maybe that's a death knell to their recent fashion status. I like them in the right place but not too many because, as Gary says, they're not so wildlife friendly as they're wind by christopher2

Slugs and snails - help needed!!

they would have to eat hundreds and that surely is unlikely. You obviously have a huge problem and pellets are a sure way of controlling them-they are called wildlife friendly because they are- that is if you don't want to use the blue ones. Bran apparently by fraggle84

Buying Pond Plants - which is best?

the clappers but species that invest a lot in their rootstocks like Butomus or Sagittaria might be better as more established plants. Just payed slightly over £3 for some nice potted pond plants - £7 is pricey like. See if any of your friends have some plants by HyppyByker
