Recently read an article that said graveyards are the ultimate lichen hotspot. I'm not comfortable macro obsessing over people's graves though. Posted 4 years ago

  Graveyards are excellent for many more aspects of our flora and fauna - basically because those areas are mostly left well enough alone I suppose, but probably also because there is a wide mix of materials (lots of types of stone, wood, shrubs, trees, ample shelter etc etc.). Lots of soil fauna too - very "giving" biotope indeed ... if you don't feel too hindered by plucking around in the soil between graves ;o) Posted 4 years ago, modified 4 years ago

    It doesn't creep me out, that's fine. It's more about "appearances". Don't want to be the talk of the town :) Posted 4 years ago

      There's plenty of towns where people don't know you ;o) Posted 4 years ago
