Episode 41: The Bog
Manage episode 423842247 series 3510050
This morning's morning chorus comes from the geese visiting the pond at High Ash Farm.
Chris Skinner takes Matthew Gudgin to the High Ash Farm Bog. He tells the story of something once swallowed up by this bottomless bog! This wonderful habitat provides the perfect conditions for one Chris's favourite flowers, the ragged robin.
The pair then compare these wetland plants to the more drought tolerant flowers on the farm. Rat is in full voice this week as Chris tries to showcase the diversity of the plants along this changing gradient of soil pH. Each flower with it's own fascinating history and derivation.
A rain shower sends Chris, Matt and Rat into the farm truck in time to answer listener questions about hornets, foxgloves and a mystery sound.
