I thought I'd put up my garden list here, in case it's of any interest. I'll try and keep it updated from time to time.
My garden is in SE Surrey. Most of the moths have been caught with an 80W MV trap. (Most of the exceptions are either leafminers or larvae.)
We've been at this house since Sept. 2003 but I've only had the trap since mid-March 2004. I'm planting more flowers and shrubs that will attract a larger variety of moths (sedum, honeysuckle, buddleia, evening primrose, Nicotania, hemp-agrimony, bedstraw, birch, hawthorn, greater knapweed, field scabious etc). We have a few mature trees in the neighbourhood (oak, alder, hawthorn, beech) and a good variety of woodland within half a mile.
