My family and I have recently moved from the US to the UK and we’ve found ourselves with alot of questions about how we can make the most of our backyard.
Bird Viewing-
We’ve made about a dozen plastic bottle bird feeders and hung them around the yard. We’ve also hung several fat balls from the trees. The bird feeders are not getting much attention, however we’ve had to replace the fat balls twice already, they are being eaten so fast. Is there a reason our feeders might not be getting the same attention as the fat balls?
We’ve also set up a bird bath, however no birds seem interested in it. We’ve read that birds are more drawn to the sounds of gently splashing water and so a bird fountain might be more successful, is that true?
We would like to set up a nesting bag in our yard, with supplies for the birds to make nests out of such as string. What common household items should we put or not put in the nesting bag? We’ve been told to put our pets excess hair (after we clean out their brush) into the nesting bag, however that seems more like it would scare the birds away, to smell a predator?
Container Gardening-
We’ve never had a garden before, though we’ve always wanted to. Since we are renting the property, we don’t want to mess up our landlord’s grass with a garden, however the patio is large and we thought we could manage a nice container garden outside, but we don’t know where to start. How do we know which plants would thrive well in our climate? How do we know how often to water them? What are good beginner plants and what size containers would they need?
Basically any advice to get us started on the right path would be greatly appreciated, regarding container gardening.
Childrens’ Outdoor Play-
We have a 14 month old, as well as friends/neighboors with slightly older children who may play in our backyard. We’ve already purchased a sandbox & small pool, we also have some outdoor balls and such. How can we make our backyard more child-friendly environment? safe as well as fun?
