🐦This week we're we're bird watching! Welcome to Tales From The Potting Bench, a planty podcast where you’ll hear all manner of stories from knowledgeable, passionate and invaluable people who love plants as much as you and I. We’re here at the monumental 7th season of the podcast and thanks to you, the listeners, we’re back with even more guests and this season promises to be even bigger, even better and with even more planty goodness! This season I'm focussing on those people who really know what they're talking about in a series of episodes I'm calling ' Experts In Their Field '. Along with a brand-new season, is a brand-new sponsor, and I’m thrilled to share that I’m joined for season 7 by the powerhouse of the plant world, Westland Horticulture . Westland are dedicated to empowering everyone with the skills, knowledge, and tools to help every gardener give it their best, season after season. Great gardening starts with great compost, and Westland has a trusted range of composts for your every gardening need, from giving your baskets and containers the best start in life filling your vegetable patch with nutrients ahead of a bountiful season. Enticing, encouraging and bringing wildlife in our gardens is a key part of gardening, and birds are a huge part of that. However, if you’re anything like I am, you’ll also really have no idea what you’re doing at all when it comes to looking after them properly and giving them what they need. Thankfully my guest this week does and he’s sharing it all with us in detail. Matt Spracklen, otherwise known on Instagram, as @ rocknrollbirder has a huge interest in birds and through his popular Instagram page, shares the comings and goings of the birds in not only his garden, but also from nature reserves and all around the country. This is an informative episode, packed with advice and thoughts on how you can attract even more birds into your own garden, enjoy!
