A pond set up with the right planting and http://groszek.katowice.pl/forum/profile.php?id=429714 shelter from the outset tends to attract amphibians naturally over time.

For gardens without much bare soil to spare, a ready-made shelter is a simple addition. Many gardeners start with bee hotels positioned in a sheltered, sunny spot close to nectar-rich planting.
Different nematode species target different problems. Some are used against slugs, others against vine weevil grubs feeding on plant roots in containers and borders, and others against chafer grubs or leatherjackets damaging lawns. Because they are pest-specific, the right choice depends on identifying which pest is actually causing the damage.
Not every beneficial garden insect lives in a hive or a colony. Many UK bee species are solitary, nesting alone or in loose aggregations, and insects such as lacewings and ladybirds shelter individually or in small clusters, particularly over winter. An insect house gives these species something a tidy garden often lacks: safe, undisturbed nesting and overwintering space.
Garden birds face different pressures depending on the time of year, and supplementary feeding is most valuable during two periods in particular: the late winter to early spring hungry gap, when natural food is scarce, and the breeding season, when adults are feeding hungry chicks.
Food choice should shift with the seasons. High-fat foods such as fat balls and suet blocks suit the colder months, when birds need extra energy to maintain body heat. During the breeding season, softer foods and mealworms are more useful, since adult birds feed these to chicks that cannot yet manage tougher foods. Sunflower hearts work well year round and avoid the mess of husks left by whole sunflower seeds.
