Habitat for animals
From TipThePlanet
- Create a habitat - A pile of irregularly-stacked logs in a secluded corner of your garden can act as a valuable habitat for hedgehogs, frogs and toads. Half bury the bottom logs in the soil to encourage stag beetles too - they love rotten wood. If you don't have much space, even a pile of stones will offer shelter to a range of insects and spiders.
