Diamond Dogs is now a reality

Desmond1979

I had to take an awkward diversion, heading home from town this afternoon, due to the closure of BOTH main routes back; to replace electrical wiring. On the first detour road, I saw a huge field inundated with Solar Panels.

    We've got a few round here, some people really hate them as they see it as industrialisation of a rural landscape, but they're mostly people who dont' realise that the countryside has always been industrial to a greater or lesser extent. It's not and never has been all roling countryside and a few sheep and cows on a hillside.

    The ones round here often have sheep grazing around them, so the farmer gets an extra crop, electicity as well as wool and meat.

    Hardly any of our countryside's is natural.

    After the ice age, once the north sea filled, there were only something like 30 woody plant species.

    We should be mostly broadleaf forest with stinging nettles and brambles in the south. Higher areas maybe more bracken.

    Open areas are only there due to grazing, most of which was introduced or farmed.

    I’m going to have a look at that later. I have heard plenty about environmental issues, biodiversity, our waterways and global warming, but I don’t know enough about the pros and cons of different approaches that could be taken to reverse the harm. Many things seem hard to quantify with certainty.

    It really brightens my day when I hear people gardening for wildlife! I want to do a deadhedge in our garden too -we do have a pile currently where there have been hedghogs before, but a deadhedge is practical and provides a home to so much life! (plus I'm hoping it would be one thing to not get eaten by the sheep on that side!) 

    I bet it looks wonderful too! Thanks for sharing that!
