OK I'll bite as I have noticed fewer Bumblebees this year.
Ive got an area of overgrown land with oak and chestnut trees so it's shady.
Which of the following recommended plants would you NOT recommend i
plant as the area is close to my main garden.
And also anyone know were you can buy these weeds!.
Red clover
birds-foot trefoil,
red bartsia
and black knapweed.
Hedgerow species such as
white dead nettle,
hedge woundwort,
tufted vetch
bush vetch


There's a nursery near us (Leeds) that sells all of those, but I don't
think they do mail order. Landlif in Liverpool do do mail order.
