Please Note:
Attracting beneficial insects to your own yard is great, but having them stay in your yard is even better! Using natural materials (branches, twigs, and moss), create a mansion of crevices perfect for boarders that earn their keep. Melissa Palmer briefs you on the care and handling of your design and provides you with all the necessary information to welcome your new guests. If you build it, the beneficials will come.
