REWILDING

So. Momty Don and Titmarsh have criticised rewilding according to the trash RWMedia. But firstly Monty Don just said that to let your garden go wil was not gardening – correct: Then Titmarsh said that a garden planted with a variety of plants could be better than on with just wild flowers – again correct. What neither said, or was ‘redacted’ was that a lawn that was never used or sat on could be so much more beneficial if left to grow wild. I regularly add plants to my ‘jungle’ – herbs, lavender, roses, hot lips, poppies and I keep patches of stinging nettles and buddhlia too – all where my neighbours mow their sterile lawns every 14 days. Just when the vetch appears they zap it like cruel gods.
