The sign of a healthy garden is the visibility of the insects, beetles and living creatures that live in it.
'Plastic' gardens have nowhere for the insects to hide. Plastic gardens are so neat and clean, and look blow dried, as though they have just come out of the hairdresser. When you go to the hairdresser your hair gets washed, cleaned, brushed, combed, trimmed, conditioned, dried and sprayed. A hair would not be game to be out of place.
So with a garden. A healthy garden needs somewhere for spiders to spin their webs, flowers that attract insects, birds to eat the insects, beetles to .... just what do they do? But I like beetles.
Beetles
When I went out the back door the other morning a very large beetle was scurrying along the mat towards the door, coming to visit. He had 6 strong, armour plated legs.
Frogs
A few days later I was digging a hole to plant a flax plant in my chicken's garden and a little brown from jumped out of the ground.
denHow is your garden?
