Looks great, and the clover should provide nitrogen via its root

greener longer in dry spells, too, and as you say, great for walking

trodden on by a bare foot!


Thanks Chris -

Bees are OK - I'm trying to encourage them - poor bees are losing their
habitats - and the bloke next door has a hive, so they are very welcome

OTOH if I ever see an asian hornet, then the bugger is going to get the
wrong side of a HV bug zapper bat!


Re BFB - I was hoping the clover would contribute nitrogen, but is it
still worth putting some down for the other (inc trace) nutriants?


Re foxes - yes, we have them - but them and the cats already dig holes
and plop everywhere so I probably will not have much to lose
