[QUOTE="Danllan, post: 7926855, member: 8735"] Same on a couple of small fields of ours; lots of stuff just waiting for the chance to come back. Also on a couple that had been left by a predecessor to go to scrub. These are too small and steep for haymaking, but I cleared the bramble and most of the small trees off them, got rid of as much bracken as possible and put some sheep in to tidy up around the edges a bit, less than two years later we have orchids, lesser celandines, meadowsweet and a dozen other wildflowers who had been biding their time. The sheep will go on them in the late Autumn and Winter, and yearling cattle in late Summer, that way the early and late seeders will get a chance. All beautiful, and astonishing how loud the insect life is on a warm day. [/QUOTE]
