Hey folks,

I've been really into Bill Oddy and everything he's had to say this year, and I got really into his suggestion of leaving a part of our gardens wild to attract some nature and do our bit for the environment.

Well, I did one little corner and wow was it worth it. I've had all kinds of animals stopping by that I've never even seen in my garden before. Tons of dragonflies, butterflies, bumblebees, and it's even attracted lots of birds to come and eat them all. It's been such a success I'm going to make it bigger next year, and see if I can get more interesting stuff.

Wondering if anyone else has tried this, and what results they got?
