Keep plants happy with nourished soil

PLANTS grow to produce seed and thus ensure the continuation of the species. That seed is often hidden inside fruits and sometimes beneath brightly coloured petals and flowers each of which is a natural work of art.

The flowers are produced to attract pollinators, different colours attracting different species and plants trying to outdo each other in their quest to lure the honey bee and ladybird to stop and collect their pollen. These pollinating insects will help create viable seed and thus future plants for the next growing season and in turn the nectar and foodstuff from these flowers and fruits will provide for the bees and friends, and so the wonderful world of nature continues.
