Gardening For Profit, Would you steal mine? When i moved in to where i am now there was an ole tree, stumped into two trunks which has been carved away to make a twin Mushroom Sculpture at around 9ft and around it lie my faery rings of wild thyme. To Create such i made use of an empty 12" plant pot cut in to 2" sections and buried into the lawn in a circular shape around the mushrooms= 7 circles in total then back filled with topsoil. Then 14 plugs of Wild thyme have been planted (2 in each) hopefully over next year they will flurish and spread but wont grow to rampant and a stray because of the cut pot to keep them in (like you do with mint). Being prostrate they'll grow low and outward becoming a pink flowering circle in the ring around the mushrooms. All being well they'll be aestetically pleasing to the eye from a garden design point of view and a top ranking pollunating plant for the Bees and Butterflies fingers crossed. Inspired by all the low flying aircraft over head who like to have a good nose at what it's like down below & I hope they like circling around them as much as i! Planting for wildlife a must, putting down logs for beneficial insects a must and any thing that benefits nature a must as a harmony is apprrieciated and more understood for those willing to ask the questions. I have been learning this myself i'm encountering far more wildlife as time goes by, which is no bad thing. All the best with your degree-Jez (Sales Assistant with no Qualifications)
