Support helpful critters with this adorable abode – an easy and eco-friendly project for the whole family
Organic gardeners everywhere are learning the value of beneficial insects: ladybugs and lacewings gobble up plant predators such as aphids, while solitary bees are power-pollinators. Offering shelter to these important creatures is a gift to your garden.
You’ll need five pieces of wood from a 1-in. x 6-in. x 8-ft. cedar board:
ASSEMBLE – Hammer the pieces together to construct a box using 1.5-in. spiral nails.
Choose a low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) paint as the most sustainable option. Or go with unpainted cedar.
Cut hollow stems from dried alliums, bamboo, squash, joe-pye weed, dandelion, teasel, golden rod, hollyhocks and/or buddleia into 5½-in. (14-cm) lengths.
Slide the cut stalks into the house.
Fasten your bughouse to a wall protected from wind and rain. Attachments and anchors depend on the surface material; ask at your local hardware store if you’re unsure.
