Supporting Nature
Wildlife habitats are gradually disappearing as we gradually increase our share of the space that are available on our planet. Most gardeners recognise that we need to maintain a diverse population of wildlife if our gardens and plots are to flourish. Not ALL insects are pests. Without the many pollinating insects we would struggle to produce many crops especially fruits. Many insects and birds also join forces with us to keep plant pests at bay. To encourage biodiversity means that we can cut down (if you still can't bear to cut out altogether), use of chemicals. This is not only good for the environment but also for us. Not all caterpillars feed on our crops, many feed on wild plants such as nettles and the adult butterflies that they become not only are beautiful to watch but also are useful pollinators. Wildlife greatly enhances our enjoyment of the outdoor life - what gardener doesn't enjoy listening to birdsong whilst tending their plots. Support our wildlife and it will repay you with many hours of enjoyment!
