More productive still,

Grow a buddleia bush in the corner of the garden.

Prune it right down to just above ground level, when you sow your seed in
March / April - which is the best time to maximise the flowering period late
in the summer for butterflies.

Lay the cut branches (which won't have any leaves) over the seed bed.

Shred / compost the branches once the seeds have come up - or I guess use
them for peas (I don't grow peas).

Best wishes,

Keith

"this little patch isnt so good after all"????...i find myself running
the length of the garden shacking my fist each morning at her lol..thx
guys and a happy xmas

Well the cat sh1tee and pee won't do any harm and some might argue the
benefits. When you start to plant seed/seedlings etc in the spring cover
the whole plot with chicken wire until things get going. Meanwhile prepare
a small area of soft sieved bum comfy soil elsewhere,complete with a copy
of "The dog haters gazette" for the cat to read.
