Help the Hedgehogs! (www.youtube.com)

Just a small plea to consider hedgehogs when planning your gardens. Hedgehog numbers have halved in the UK since the year 2000 and a few little considerations can be a big benefit.

A few little notes for helping hedgehogs to thrive.

  1. Access - If you have a fence without any gaps, allow for 1 or more holes near the bottom of the fence around 15cm around to let hedgehogs to enter your garden to find food. If you just have hedges as a boundary, great!
  2. Water - A bowl of water or a pond. Ensure any ponds have ramps that a hedgehog can walk out of if they fall in.
  3. Food - Attract beatles and insects with a deadwood pile. Also cat food can be a good supplement for them if left in a feeding station. Do not leave in a hedgehog home. You don't want to attract predators while they are hibernating.
  4. Toxins - Avoid slug pellets or chemicals in your gardens. These will make wildlife sick.
  5. Shelter - Provide a hedgehog home for breeding and hibernating

So, what are we all growing? by masterofnone in c/gardeninguk@piefed.social

Recently planted a mixed native hedge as bare root plants around the edge of the garden to help increase wildlife. Fingers crossed they all establish well. All this rain should help. I can't wait to see what the look like in a year. I get very impatient at this part.

Probably just an unfortunate reality for companies that do big business together to work towards a third option. Hopefully it can at least lead to a third or 4th option depending what happens with the EU plans.

Yes that is an odd bit. Will have to see how it develops.

About damn time!

I never understood how such a foreign duopoly was able to be created in an industry we dominate in.

What is everyone’s thoughts on the new format? I think it has definitely improved from the previous few years. I almost feel like I am watching a basketball game now! The tournament set up really gives a more competitive vibe, and it was smart to split the USA teams by age.
