Experiments in my Garden






The Soil and Climate Test;




Where I can easily observe them; In the Garden!
Before introducing a new plant species, that so far has been absent from the high moor, but abundant (at least in places) on the foot hills, be able to Survive up here, on the high moor?


Successful introductions into the wild zones of the garden and since gone on to Begin their first trial plantings, in the wild, would include; Valerian (valeriania), Wild Iris, Wild Strawberries, Wild Daffs, Teazel as well as many others.



Many of the species trialed in my garden are now are building up colonies in the wild up here, and are now being (or have been) planted on a much bigger scale by me.




The amount a new species needs to be planted in the wild is often determined by it's ability to spread in it's new environment.
