Cultivating a small wood
Hi
I am looking into the options for a 1/4 acre plot of grassed land that I own at the rear of my garden. One possibility is to "cultivate" it into a small wood, and this really appeals to me. Unfortunately, I'm totally ignorant on most things botanical....so I'm in need of some guidance as to how I might get started. My objectives are i. relatively low cost & maintenance; i don't have much spare time outside weekends ii. attract wildlife iii. a variety of trees, with emphasis on quick growing species (NOT the dreaded leylandi !) iv. maintain a small grassed area in the middle where one could "escape" with a good book v. encourage wild flowers to grow . As I say, I'm pretty much clueless on this and am looking for advice on how I might get started. Any good web links or organsiations would be usuful. thanks in advance, Dr Who |
