Nic,
I just saw this post from you about turf banks. How long can you leave them in place, will the beetles keep using them or do you have to replace them at a certain point. I have just enough room to be able to put a couple of small ones down.
“Logs, leaves and hedges sound great for beetles. I accidentally discovered that they also like turf banks when I was making a new flower bed once. I left a small pile of turf on the path for a few days, before deciding what to do with it and when I came to move it lots of beetles had moved in. That solved the problem of what to do with it and I now have a few small beetle banks hidden away in corners! My garden isn’t very big either, so everything has to be done on quite a small scale.”
