SMALL WAYS TO MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE

It’s National Nest Box Week

The spotlight is on breeding birds and everyone is asked to put up more nest boxes. Visit www.nestboxweek.com.

Boost your soil

Revitalise soil naturally with Remin volcanic rock dust, a source of trace elements to boost soil fertility. Go to www.reminscotland.com.

Leave food for hogs

Leave out meaty dog or cat food for hedgehogs and water in a shallow dish. If they’re early coming out of hibernation, they’ll need help.

Last hedge cut

Plan your last hedge cut with electric trimmers this month so you can leave hedges alone from March to help nesting birds.
