Beneficial insects are an essential part of any successful vegetable or fruit garden. They help us by eating pests and by pollinating crops but to to make sure there are lots of them in the garden in time for spring, they need some protection during the colder months.

Bug hotels are easy to make and are great projects for children to get involved in. They give beneficial insects a safe, cosy home to shelter in over winter, so they’ll be right on hand to help fight pests and pollinate crops when the weather warms up next year.

In this short video we demonstrate how to build a bug hotel that will make beneficial insects want to check in and stay in your garden forever!

The well known Fairy Bridge on the A5 to Castletown has only been designated a site since the 20th century. The original Fairy Bridge is the ruin of an old stone bridge nestled among the trees a short walk from Kewaigue School on the Isle of Man. The history of this bridge might be lost but to this day people visit to leave offerings and make wishes to the fair folk, called the Mooinjer Veggey in Manx Gaelic. If you do as well, please make sure that it’s bio-degradable and wildlife-friendly.

Fresh herbs can transform meals into something really special, but many herbs die back in winter so it’s worth preserving your harvest before this happens to ensure a continued supply through to next spring.

Air drying, microwave drying, freezing, and mixing into butter, vinegars or oils are all excellent preserving methods, and easy to do with small or large quantities of herbs.

In this video we’ll show you how to preserve your homegrown herbs without sacrificing any flavour.

If you like ponds and water features, check out Eric Tripplett’s (The Pond Digger) videos, and if you’d like some awesome hardy tropicals, Brian’s Botanicals is the site to buy them. I hope you enjoy the video and learn something. Thanks for watching!
