We built some of these in my old place, okay nothing as cool or shop bought, generally a stack of bamboo or pine cones. And whilst it won’t eradicate all pests, it does provide a home for pollinators and predators. I will be making a few in my latest garden.
Also while I was hacking away at the overgrown end I came across an abandoned wasp nest no bigger than a cricket ball. It was hanging in the bushes, beautiful delicate layer chambers like a very small grey paper lantern.
Regarding tackling aphids etc.
