New land



We are now the proud owners of 2.5 acres of agricultural land near to where we live. We have lots of plans and will be starting work on them shortly. We want the site to be wildlife friendly so there will be hedgehog boxes, ponds, bat nesting boxes and so on installed. The hedgehogs and amphibians will eat the bugs so there is an economic return for us with less damage to crops.

The video above was filmed last week and in it I explain some of the plans for the site.

That's the size of the property we had for 30 years. Sure didn't need much for the livestock and house. Most of it was put in hay. Your plans sound good. Ponds further down might fill up with ground water if you are lucky. Just dig a hole and see.

We were looking at possible locations for ponds today, working out where the wettest areas are.
