Hello, I'm Anna. I work for the RSPCA and we're going to show you how to make your garden
00:05
as wildlife friendly as it can be.
00:12
So we've got all kinds of different ways to invite bugs into your garden and you might
00:17
be wondering, well why do I want to invite lots of bugs to my garden? Well if we have lots of
00:21
insects in our garden it'll attract all the other wildlife that we want to see, so hedgehogs,
00:26
small birds, bats even. We're going to start on the basics and we're going to use very natural
00:32
materials that you might already have in your garden or that you could even find just going
00:36
on a walk. So we're going to make a standing deadwood bug tower. So this is just a piece of
00:42
wood that I've cut and it's got lots of different sized holes drilled in it and it's really simple
00:47
to make. All you need is something sturdy, so here is a sawhorse, a plain piece of wood, this is
00:54
birch and we're going to use a regular cordless drill. So we've got our wood nice and sturdy,
01:00
if you feel more comfortable you can put a glove on the hand that's going to sort of steady the wood
01:05
and you can literally, it really doesn't matter where you drill the holes,
01:12
you can get really creative with this, you can make all sorts of patterns and designs if you like.
01:15
And we have a log with some holes in it which is going to be our standing deadwood
01:29
and we're simply going to dig a little hole in the ground. The deeper it is the wood underground
01:35
will start to rot too and that creates a nice little habitat underground as well as on top
01:41
of the ground. So we've got two there but I've actually got lots that I'm going to put in and
01:48
we can make them into a nice little design and that will be fantastic standing deadwood
01:54
for all of your invertebrates.
