More luxury bug hotels

I used plastic tubes when the trees in the woodland were planted. We were not so plastic aware in those days - so now that the trees have grown the plastic tubes have come off and I wondered what to do with them.


So cut in half with four sections put inside on another, stacked with a recycled wood backing and old chicken wire wrapped around to keep them in place.


I will cover this with branches later in the summer when I cut the hedges and will then finish it off with swept up leaves in the autumn. This will provide a nice warm and snug over-wintering place for bugs, mice and frogs.
