Set-aside fields are topped at least once a year but otherwise there is no disturbance to the soil other than the trampling which comes from any little posse of botanists pursuing the latest outlaws. This year a small patch of this probably introduced but very rare plant turned up on this field not having been seen in the area for as long as anyone can remember. This looks like a typical small mallow but it is easily identified because of the long rough hairs.
