Hello all!
Recently, I've come across a few examples of 'wildlife hotels' – wonderful structures made from pallets that create a variety of habitats for garden wildlife.
I was wondering, does anyone make an effort to encourage useful insects in their garden? How should I go about attracting aphid-guzzling hover flies for example?
And does anyone make an effort to have hibernation quarters for ladybirds and lacewings?
I seems as though there is a real movement towards 'bug hotels' at the moment so I'd be interested to know what you do on your patch...
Thanks very much!
Holly
