Wildlife Log Pile. Hibernacula. Wildlife Garden. Bug Hotel.

Here is my wildlife #logpile, or #logwall or #hibernacula It's like a #bughotel for #insects and lots of other #wildlife. Including #amphibians and #reptiles.
Please visit my website and Garden Shop here: www.marksgardenuk.com/
My neighbour chopped a tree down and gave me the logs for my wood burning stove but I decided to build a wildlife log pile next to my wildlife pond.
If you like #gardens or #gardening and wildlife this is the perfect video for you.
I hope to encourage lots of wildlife in to my garden especially things like #frogs, #toads, #newts, #lizards, slow worms, insects, invertebrates, water beetles, dragon flies, birds, butterflies. A whole ecosystem might evolve. Eventually the logs will rot down and a feed a whole system of fungi and provide homes for wildlife.
I have done a vlog called "How to build a wildlife pond"
I also have a formal fish pond but the fish discourage wildlife. I will show you my formal pond in another vlog.

Great log pile Mark and a great habitat for the local wildlife; goes perfectly alongside the wildlife pond.

Thanks Mark, I've moved house since this series and I'm about to do a whole new wildlife pond and log pile, hedgehog house, bog garden. I'll be borrowing some ideas from your great vids (hope you don't mind!)

[@MarkyBigSmoke]

Ha, brilliant! That’s very exciting news Mark. The more we can do for wildlife the better! Of course, check out Joel Ashtons videos too if you have time; they’re fantastic inspiration. All the best and I look forward to your new projects. All the best
