The meadow I got the council to put in is great this year. I've been maintaining it as they've done fuck all. Just had a lovely chat to our postie about it, it brightens up his round. It's full of insects, so much so that the two nearby nesting starlings visit regularly, along with a gang of sparrows. The soil is also now full of worms and not being regularly soaked in weedkiller. Success!
That is an enormous win and it's a complete no-brainer that this should be done to every patch of grass on public land across London. It cuts down on council staff work and boosts biodiversity enormously. Fuck yeah.
