Hi,
I have a sunken bathtub with ramps in on my allotment which is obviously a home for frogs and other wildlife. It was next to a bed of peas and thistles. as i cleared that area yesterday i upset a field vole a bit, which was nice to see him but i feel guilty for disturbing him. So i have stopped clearing the thistles until i can replace them with something else...
anyway, i want to replace the thistles around the 'pond' with some plants just to keep the wildlife happy, but they need to be not very invasive as although i want to be nice to the creatures i don't really want to create more weed problems fro myself! the plants don't have to be anything i can use, just something that will provide shelter for creatures. Any ideas what i could plant?
cheers
Jo
