taHi all,
Yes, they are fine.

I've got my eye on the oak trees across the lane that surround the village cricket pitch and I'm hoping we get a nice wind that brings me some into the garden so I don't have to forage too far! And I've also got a Japanese maple, a magnolia, an apple tree and lots of currant bushes to try. Oh, and bay leaves, I guess?I'm just bumping this because the leaves are starting to turn and there will soon be lots on the ground for collecting!
What have you got your eye on this year?

I've never tried Bay (Laurus nobilis), but I'd be a bit wary, just because they are so aromaticand lots of currant bushes to try. Oh, and bay leaves, I guess?
Clematis armandii might be all right, but I think all the deciduous leaves would be too soft.What about honeysuckle and clematis? I have a vague idea honeysuckle is poisonous?
Hello!Hi All
I've only just come across this thread so apologies if this has been asked already, but is there anything that is a definite no no to use? I've recently set up a shallow tank with some wood which is partially submerged that I have put a couple of house plants on top, tannins from the wood are colouring the water massively and I'm loving it. No fish yet but want to introduce some leaves and stuff from our local common as it is now Autumn.
