Helping Wildlife
Posted: Sun Oct 19, 2014 2:17 pm
Seeing this picture, gave me an excuse to use up those chewed tennis balls discarded by the dogs.
We have a very small area we deliberately let overgrow, to encourage wildlife and over the years, we've built up quite an eco system.
Very simple and cheap methids can attract so much wildlife to the garden.
Broken branches and logs picked up on walks stacked In a corner or even random encourage Insects to breed which In turn encourages Insect eating birds. Since starting this, we have been rewarded with Mistle Thrush nesting each year In the Clematis.
Cutting old flower pots In half upside down gives shelter for Frogs, Toads and Slow Worms.
Piles of discarded bush cuttings In a corner attract hedgehogs...
Now I'm off to strategically place my old tennis balls out there.
