- Your Guide To Creating A Bee Friendly Environment is a guide to show you what you can do to save our dwindling bee population. Over 70% of our food crops are pollinated by bees; a species that is dying out at a frightening rate. Scientists have expressed their concern that if something is not done soon to stop these pollinating insects disappearing, we will face serious, irreparable problems with the world's food supply. Bees are an amazing species of insect; there are over 25, 000 different types of bee on the planet, with around 250 in the United Kingdom. Honey bees are probably the most important species of bee as it is estimated that 80% of the food eaten has been pollinated by a honey bee! These 'busy bees' work tirelessly to pollinate our food yet they are losing their habitat & their natural environment. The book also explains the myths about bees, how to provide food, & how to identify them. Cornflower ‘ Blue Ball’ Packet of Seed

Plant in acid (Ericaceous) soil. How to Grow Plant in well-drained, acidic soil in a sunny, sheltered spot. If your garden soil has a p H over 5.5, your blueberry is best grown in a pot, in ericaceous soil. Keep it well-watered
- don’t allow the soil to dry out. Water blueberries with rainwater if you can as tap water will gradually raise p H levels. Feed every month with a liquid fertiliser for ericaceous (lime-hating) plants. If growing blueberries in the garden, add plenty of organic matter such as pine needles or composted conifer clippings. Avoid farmyard manure as it will scorch the roots. Pruning is rarely needed in the first two years. After that prune in late Feb – early Mar, aiming to remove a proportion of old wood every year. Two-year-old wood is the most productive. Take out any damaged, dead, & diseased wood & prune out low branches that will lie on the ground when full of fruit. Contents 6 x plants

Grows to a height of 1.5m (5ft) and width of 4m (13ft). Care Planting Advice for your Ceanothus Grow Ceanothus in a sunny, sheltered site in fertile, well-drained soil, ?protected from winds. Dig a planting hole 3 x wider than the roots of the shrub you're planting & mix some well-rotted compost or manure with the soil from the hole & use this to re-fill once the shrub is in place. We've found that a square hole is better than a round one as the new roots, once they reach the edges tend to grow in a circle round the circumference of the hole whereas when they reach the corners of a square hole, they find it easier to grow through. Before planting soak container-grown shrubs thoroughly & allow to drain. Remove the plant from its pot & tease out a few of the roots. Add Mycorrhizal fungi to the roots when planting to help plants establish quicker. Place your shrub in the hole at the same level at the pot & refill the hole with the earth removed (backfilling). Firm in the soil with your heel, avoiding the root ball & water well. Mulch around the base of the plant with a collar, compost, gravel, bark etc. If you're planting into pots, place some old rocks, stones or gravel in the bottom of the pot for drainage & ballast. Use the best compost you can buy & some sand or grit for drainage. Aftercare Advice for Ceanothus Keep plants well-watered while they establish, especially if planted up in a pot. Hardy to -10°C, protect from cold winds as it is these that tend to cause the most damage to young plants.? Pruning Advice for Ceanothus Ceanothus requires no special pruning; only occasional maintenance is needed to remove any growth that has been damaged over winter.
