here and look at the pond the plants and the insects. it s like one of those nature t.v. shows. because i m absolutely thrilled that this garden works so well. insect habitat disappearing everywhere but in places like this they re making a comeback. the insects have found a home here a refuge from the outside world but. if more homeowners would create similar sites the insects would be a lot better off. but it s also important for people to stop using pesticides in their private gardens. more than 750 different kinds of pesticides are used in germany. every year 500 tonnes of them are sprayed in private gardens. in agriculture the figure is around $32000.00 tonnes.
