Organic pest control




The new pond is already attracting toads. As shelter for them I have stacked up some logs in shady areas. This little one obvioisly likes the new habitats.
Amphibians are not the only organic pest control I am hoping to attract, the bottom two pictures show the first of several lacewing hotels in position. Hopefully they will attract lacewings and ladybirds to overwinter, giving me an advantage in the spring by having resident predators of greenfly and the like.
