While looking at the Slug Bu66ers on greengardening.co.uk I noticed them selling a kit to breed/hatch your own ladybirds.
Is this worth while or just one of those way to get money out of naive gardeners like me. I've been given a bee house as a pressie which seems like a good idea until I tried to work out what to do with it (see my other thread) so now I'm more wary of these sorts of things.
Anyone out there use these sorts of things to encourage beneficial insects, apart from growing their favourite plants that is. Which reminds me, which plants/flowers do ladybirds like best?
