How to encourage wildlife on your allotment
August
- A wild corner with long grass and nettles will provide a feeding and over-wintering site for a variety of wildlife.
- Start sowing overwintering green manures.
- Cut hedges after birds are finished nesting.
- A pile of rocks and stones (or a dry stone wall) provides lots of sheltered spaces for hiding lizards and amphibians.
- Trim hedges once nesting birds have vacated.
- Position a lacewing chamber.
