Nematodes are microscopic roundworms that occur naturally in soil, and certain species have been developed for use against specific garden pests. Rather than acting as a broad chemical treatment, each nematode species is matched to a particular pest, seeking it out and interrupting its lifecycle with far less impact on the rest of the garden than a chemical spray.
Fresh water for drinking and bathing rounds out a decent set-up. Gardeners building out their feeding station for the first time typically start with a good spread of bird feeders to cover the different food types birds look for.
Food choice should shift with the seasons. High-fat foods such as fat balls and suet blocks suit the colder months, when birds need extra energy to maintain body heat. During the breeding season, softer foods and mealworms are more useful, since adult birds feed these to chicks that cannot yet manage tougher foods. Sunflower hearts work well year round and avoid the mess of husks left by whole sunflower seeds.
Frogs and newts are useful garden residents, feeding on slugs and other insects, and their presence is generally a good sign that a pond is in reasonable health. Attracting them is mostly a matter of getting the habitat right rather than anything more involved.
Native hedging is a strong starting point. Hawthorn and holly, for example, provide dense shelter and nesting sites through spring and summer, then carry berries into autumn and winter when other food is scarce. Nectar-rich perennials planted alongside give pollinators a working food source through the growing season rather than a single short burst.
Hedgehogs typically hibernate through the coldest months, often in piles of leaves, log stacks, or http://seengm.com/index.php?qa=33692&qa_1=feeding-garden-birds-through-the-british-seasons purpose-built shelters tucked into a quiet corner. Anything resembling a bonfire pile should always be checked carefully before lighting, since it can look like an ideal hibernation spot to a hedgehog settling in for winter.
