Wow...

I like having a "controlled" meadow garden. Since I took a Bosch
verticutter to it and removed about 5m3 of moss and thatch, the grass is
a lot happier (I did overseed with grass and clover and some meadow
flower mixed seeds) - and the birds love it because the worms are easy
to find.

We have at least 2 blackbird families and a very round dove that are
always about.

When the lawn flowers, bees are floating around everywhere.

And at night snails come out in their dozens. I do not grow vegetables
so they bother me not - and the birds like them too.
