Hi all
We have just received our 'Hedgehog detective kit'!! Thanks to Nickie's link.
Did anyone else apply for one? We do have hedgehogs in the garden but it's
good to follow the advice and information given in the pack. It would be great
to see if the street is a stong hold for them, using information from other
neighbours.
Sadly we weren't successful in our bid for swift boxes. No feedback was given,
but we can perhaps apply again. However, it may just a case of us paying for a
job lot of swift boxes.
Anyway, that's my Eco warrier bit for the day.
Deb and Dave.

We did get enough seed to do the whole length if needed, plus made sure it
doesnt include grasses as i think we have enough of those already.

LOL at the classification of the "ends". I guess I have Earl to thank for

Will enjoy watching the posh end get their gardeners to do the work while
they sit back sipping g&ts 😀
Once it's finished we could do with some way of marking off the area so
the people who usually cut the grass know to leave it. Any thoughts? Stakes
and twine? Little signs?

plants. Even if we just do a bit over the next few weekends when free we
could get it done pretty quickly. Haven't sown the seeds yet. We pondered
