Interesting Website

Just been having a look here:

I like the comfrey-squasher. Loads of other ideas for using plastic bottles of all shapes and sizes, amongst other things. The only thing I would add to the tool-rack idea is that you might want to make a frame out of old bits of 2x2 for the wire mesh to be fixed to, which then fixes to the wall - this makes it much much simpler to thread your tool hooks (I use Ikea butchers' hooks) into.

Sorry. Just realised you all know this site already Sad

Still worth bringing up again. Has anyone ever tried one of these:

Does it seem to make much difference? I might have a go myself this year, if I don't hear anything to the contrary.

You could sit your chickens in it to persuade them to lay when it is dark Wink

That's a great site lozzie. I'm going to make some bat boxes and lacewing nests. I've also got a lot of cane cutoffs so I presume if I tie a bunch of these together it will attract ladybirds as well.

I'd not seen it before Lozzie, so thanks for posting it. I'm going to save it and have a good look later.
