Thank you, that's simba, my old chihuahua, he makes an appearance in many of my vlogs, i often have to hold him to stop him yapping 😅🤣

This looks amazing 👏 There will be soooo much wildlife under there soon!

Thank you freya 😊 i did find a couple of toads whilst building it so hopefully they will find their way inside. Mark

Great space for wildlife Mark! That should certainly provide a great habitat for all sorts of creatures. Thanks for sharing

[@MarksHouseandGardenUK]

I wish i could put some kind of camera inside it. I'll just have to be happy to know it's there and imagine. Mark

[@MarkyBigSmoke]

You’ll have great pleasure in observing wildlife in that space!

Great video. So good to be able to use the unwanted bits in the garden to make different wildlife habitats

[@MarksHouseandGardenUK]

Thank Jack 🙏😊

I’m in the process of building a wildlife pond and planting a wild flower meadow. I have lots of branches and logs and was unsure of how best to use them…not any more. Thank you, you’re video has inspired me to make both this and the log pile

[@emcdowell2884]

Great job! Please show us the new residents

[@MarksHouseandGardenUK]

I'll keep you updated on the wildlife which moves in. I have a wildlife camera and I'm going to build a hide in the corner. Watch this space and thank you for watching. Mark

Not deep enough by a long way. 60cm depth for hibernation - and no need for gravel as frogs burrow into the bare earth at the bottom of the hole. Loose subsoil to a couple of inches is fine.

ok thanks, I designed this after watching and reading much research from wildlife organisations, but it is nice to know that there are other methods.
