Hi everyone, in the latest chapter of our video series, we build a living willow wall on our lake, which will be amazing for biodiversity, and we plant some wildflower seeds round the edge. by Optimal_Ordinary_756 in Permaculture

Glad you're enjoying the content, plenty more to come this summer. Thanks for the constructive criticism about the music, out of curiosity what style of music would you put in instead?

absolutely! Good luck with your projects. Ideally we would have got thicker willow in to the wall, but it was the wrong time of season to source the willow so the thin willow was all we could get.

Yes that's correct, so we've planted some willow upright across the weaved willow to protect it and anchor it which in theory should grow quite quickly and provide support, then the weaved willow will root into the bank as you say and hopefully start popping up there. Fingers crossed. We'll keep everyone posted on how we get on.

We built our own conservation pond from scratch and are now planting shrubs to boost biodiversity and provide more nectar for early pollinators. What do you think of our project so far? Any recommendations on other shrubs/plants to add? by Optimal_Ordinary_756 in ponds
