And then that will smother out all the other plants.
And that's a nightmare plant to get rid of.
Or are you doing... If you were to leave that as is, and hopefully, you know, it will be left and not built on, because there's a massive problem in this country with... Because we are desperate for houses, and I want people to be able to be homed and all that, but you can't be building on floodplains.
It's fucking ridiculous.
And you see people with their hearts broken because they're in a gaff and they have their little kids there.
And they're like, we've been in this house for 10 years.
But you go through the historical records and it's like it floods every 20 years.
It's a floodplain.
Why did you get permission to build a gaff here?
Keep the pressure on.
If anyone is trying to do that in your area and you know it's ridiculous and make, kick up some noise about it and talk to...

Why are they looking to build houses on it?
It's crazy.

If you can.
Well, first of all, floodplains are quite rich in all the water that goes down there.
So there'd be a different type of soil that you'd need for wildflowers.
They're like kind of poor soil.
