A small wildlife experiment in the back bed this autumn. I left our carved Halloween pumpkins in the southern corner to feed slugs and snails and to watch pumpkin decay. Sweet cicely grows there and the Child Who Likes Animals drops melon rind, now mould and spiders lurk. Tips on how to compost pumpkins in garden.
Rolly's Take
For the mindful soul who finds poetry in decay and beauty in the overlooked corners of nature. Embraces the slow, intricate dance of life and death, where pumpkins become sustenance for slugs and a child's curiosity nurtures the wild. This space is for those who understand that gardening is more than cultivation; it's a dialogue with the ecosystem.
