Bats A guide for gardeners Bats are remarkable creatures. They are the only mammals to have true flight and many can use ultrasound to "see" in the dark. Our native species are all insect eaters and even the tiniest can eat more than 5000 midges in a single night. This book describes the fascinating natural history of bats and explores some of the legends associated with them. It also suggests ways in which the gardener can help these marvellous animals.

Spiders in the Garden. Close inspection shows that there are orb webs, sheet webs, scaffold webs and webs with funnels, all reflecting the range of spiders to be discovered. Not all spiders make webs, however. Look out for the cheeky-faced jumping spiders as they scuttle around over walls and fences, their large eyes on constant lookout for a bite to eat. Or look carefully at a patch of warm earth where, if you are lucky you will find wolf spiders going about their daily business of hunting, courting and mating. £6.20 inc UK Delivery |

Wildflowers for Wildlife No wildlife garden is complete without a good selection of wildflowers, for it is these native species upon which most of our wild bees, butterflies, bumblebees and other insects depend. Many species also provide seeds for our declining finches and sparrows. Even if wildlife gardening is not your objective, many of our most beautiful wildflowers make fantastic garden plants, flowering over long periods, providing lots of vibrant colour and helping our wildlife into the bargain. Lots of wildflower species are threatened in the countryside as meadows are ploughed up and hedgerows pulled out. But seeds of many of these treasures are available from specialist suppliers, so we can still enjoy them in our own gardens.

The cultural
information should be used as a guide only, I have found a number
of different sowing techniques for the same seed from different
sources there does not seem to be a standard. With this in mind
you should use this website as a guide only, you probably already
have a tried and tested way of sowing different seeds. As a rule
of thumb the larger the seed size the more cover it requires, and
fine seed like Lobelia Begonia etc requires no cover.
