Additionally, I scatter crushed oyster shell in the artificial hedgerow and anywhere else I can throw it. Birds use it as grit. What the birds don't use as grit goes to my soil. What did get used as grit l passed through digestive tracts and also enriches the soil.

But even if none of that were true, it's worth doing simply for bird cover.
Always looking for interesting plants for pollinators and food! Bonus points for highly, and pleasantly scented plants.
