Hi, fellow posters. From time to time posters have expressed the view that because of lack of space where they live they're unable to plant species which will attract birds & other wildlife. For an alternative view go to http://www.iffa.org.au/inner-city-balcony-gardening-indigenous-plants.
What a great link Woko, thanks for that.
I have a 'gardening in small spaces' piece here on biby too but that site looks fantastic.
Good site Woko. There are thousands of empty balconies around the cities crying out for a bit of greenery. Stark building facades could be transformed with a wall of plants and all the better if native plants are used. I wonder if Costa has ever done a feature on this.
Thanks, Woko, that's a really interesting link.
Native flora is a bit of a passion of mine and new ideas on how to incorporate it in urban environs is always welcomed.
Cheers

Our new front "lawn" after the drought made us re-think it! Not a small space for some but we wanted a low maintenance feature and indigenous plants in piles of clay and washed sand mulch were a big success. We several small bird species in residence now, a great show in spring and weeding the sand is EASY!
Nice! Plenty of strata variety, great litter. Do you know which small bird species you have?
