Ladybirds on the plot!

Monday, July 25th, 2011

Our allotment site is covered with ladybirds. It’s hard to do the weeding for more than a minute wihtout seeing lots of them!

This home made ladybird house might be a good place for them to over winter! Will have to make sure that we encourage as many as possible to stay!

You can use short lengths of bamboo cane in an old terracotta pot as a home for them.

You can of course buy ladybird houses for over winter.
