So people could dig a hole in the ground, stick it in, put a bit of substrate on the bottom of the pond, put a stick in it,
put some, we'd give them some hornwort, native plant, throw it in, and everybody was buzzing off it.
And then, of course, they'll put another one in and another, or they'll just enjoy what they're out there doing.
The point of it is you can fit it to your budget.
You don't have to make it massive.
You can do it, if you have young children, you can cover it with galvanized steel mesh if you want to, or just do one that shallow, you know, and
They're very easy to do.
They're incredibly good for nature.
On top of that, anywhere in your garden, you can't leave a bit of a mess.
Leave some rotten wood, leave some piles of leaves, leave some stones.
When you just go out to move the wheelie bins to put it out for the lads to take away, I guarantee if you look down, you'll find woodlice, logs, a worm, something looking for a home.
So leave a permanent spot for them.
Because they'll find that spot, but you're also naturally feeding the blackbirds, especially at this time of year, the blue tits and all that.
They're looking for bugs in those places.
So it's really easy to do.
If you can't do it, if you haven't got the opportunity to do it in your own garden, encourage somebody who has a garden to do it or go to your community space and see if they'll let you do it.
And there's plenty of people out there who are really good at teaching these kind of skill sets.
Wild Acres down in Wicklow is a great place as well.
There's lots of places you can go on Google online, nature courses and stuff like that.
Leave a mess for nature.
