Beneficial Insects: Or how I began to stop fearing and learn to love the spiders

I know I just did a larger update today, let this be an addendum.  I believe I have mentioned this previously, but I am also growing aromatics as beer additives and beneficial insect attractors. 2 types of lavender, bergamot, chamomile, echinacea, sage, lemon balm, lilac, marjoram, valerian, anise hyssop; to name a few.  Just a quick update on top of my insect ramblings from earlier.  Thanks for reading!

  1. Have you considered a bug condo? We have one in the Aurora Xeriscape Demo Garden. We had a few residents this past winter and the garden vistors (humans) really get a kick out of it. http://inhabitat.com/diy-how-to-build-an-insect-hotel-from-found-materials/large_insect_condo/
