I’ve been leaving native wild plants in situ dotted around the allotment plot especially when I know they are larval food for various moths and butterflies. But I’ve been reading about the concept of a “butterfly bank” and I’m now trying to think of how much shade and light I have in different places.
I have a large quarter of my allotment plot still uncultivated so maybe I can plan a small bank / elongated hillock into this somewhere #gardening #butterfly
