How Can I Attract Beneficial Insects Into My Garden…?
Would like to get more wildlife into my garden including insects that are helpful such as ladybirds, bees and dragonflies. What are the best ways of attracting them into my garden?
Thanks
A log pile in a quiet corner is a brilliant idea. Just leave it alone and insects and things like frogs and toads will live there.
Also don’t tidy up to a certain extent. Dried grasses and seed heads left over the winter act as a shelter to insects and provide food for birds.
Put food out for the birds in the winter and spring.
Also a bird bath will get them flocking in.
Dragonflies need a pond or similar to lay eggs and for their larvae to develop. They also need reeds or similar to the larvae to climb out of the water.
