Simple insect house

OK then,

Cut the bottom of the 1 litre bottle. Leave the top on. Get some corry card and some straw and roll it up like a swiss roll with the straw as the filling. and then fit it into the pop bottle. Tie some string round the top of the bottle and make a loop in the string and hang it up . The bugs climb up the bottom if you pardon the phrase and the pop bottle will keep the rain orf.

Lol! see what you mean NTG. I thought you might have some piccies of them in 'action' in your jardin?!

No, I was only told about it the other week and I figured there wouldn't be many around this time of year. I'll make some in the summer though for next year.

Wow what a fab idea and so simple. In all the years of having canes in the greenhouse and seeing cane houses at crazy prices in garden centres, never thought of it!!!
