Default What insects will eat greenfly?

Hi.

How do I either encourage ladybirds into my garden or breed them
myself? Ditto any other useful insects.

TIA, Jeff


I seem to remember a ladybird breeding kit being shown on one of the stalls
at Chelsea during the BBC coverage. Can't remeber who was selling it though
:-(
Letting nettles grow in your garden will attract many beneficial insects
including ladybirds, parasitic wasps, lacewings and hoverflies which will
all act as natural pest control.
