One of the coolest experiences in the garden besides just harvesting some epic produce

is seeing the wildlife and the ecosystem develop and then seeing that life cycle develop

of the birds, the bees, the bugs, everything in the garden just repeat year after year.

But that's not going to happen if you don't have the actual environment set up correctly.

So we have Aaron Brichito back on the show.

I'm curious how you've implemented some of these structures, whether they be man-made

or not to make sure that the wildlife can actually reproduce.

Yes, so this is a really important element to incorporate.

So when you think about things to add to your garden for raising young, for supporting

wildlife, the first things that might come to mind are bird houses, bug hotels, bat

boxes.

You can do this very inexpensively.

One of the first things that I'd like to touch on are nesting boxes or bird houses.

Those are very simple but very important to specific bird species.

And how you can do this with a very low budget are with palettes.

If you can get your hand on heat-treated palettes, you can make bird houses very inexpensively

and incorporate those into your garden.

And when you are incorporating a bird house, there's a few things that you want to consider.

You want to make sure that whether you're building it or you're buying it, that you can

clean them out.

So year after year, you're going to have birds nesting within it.

It could be the same nesting pair.
