We have a lot of ladybirds on our allotment site!
Can't do any weeding or digging without seeing them. (Yes I am moving
them out of the way!)
Mind you I saw three newts whilst digging some spuds up this week too!
Any suggestions for cheap ideas for ladybird overwintering places?
(Yes I am thinking of winter already! )
A decent wood pile will offer winter homes for ladybirds and a lot
more beneficial bugs, especially if, when building it, you add a pile
of leaf litter in the middle. The wood offers protection and the leaf
litter warmth.
