Chemical free 2023

I use no chemicals on my small patch.

Setting aside for wild flowers and weeds+

I have already designated a part of the garden behind my greenhouse to sow wild flowers and add to the nettles. Last year we planted early flowering perennials (Nepeta, Lavender, etc) in our front garden for the bees and bugs. It worked so well last year so we have increased the area to increase the food source until other plants come into flower.

Signing petitions against the use of bee killing pesticides

I don't use chemicals as my garden is wildlife and pet friendly. I have plenty of pollinator friendly plants I urge people to sign petitions to get bee killing pesticides banned. There are different petitions out there by different organizations so choose one that you are happy to support. Be pro-active!https://www.greenpeace.org.uk/news/bee-killing-pesticides-comeback-george-eustice/ www.change.org https://chng.it/ntCJDYMkcb
