    @NormandyLiz there is quite a bit of woodland around where I live, also pasture with cows. There is agriculture but not next to me. Dordogne is 45% covered with woodland, the 3rd most wooded departement of France.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    @NormandyLiz   The problem is the cows abort with the horticultural sprays from neighbouring land - the small holdings are a real nuisance.
    A good hoeing is worth two waterings.

    Ban urban and garden pesticides to protect bees, other wildlife and human health

    or didn't sign up for the updates then the debate has happened and transcripts are available https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/590309 It's always nice to see who is on side with saving wildlife. 

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
