Topic: Bug Tower!

[gonz]

Hello

While I have been looking at various allotment websites, I came across a picture of a Bug Tower made out of old pallets on an allotment in Liverpool.  The man had nailed 5 or 6 pallets together using the top as a work bench and the spaces between were filled with bits and bobs to create a safe place for lacewings, lady birds etc to live.  I cant remember which site is was on now, does anybody have any ideas of what was in the spaces??

Any help would be much appreciated.    ???

I've attempted to make one of these on my allotment. Not sure how successful it's been- think I need to put more stuff in the gaps, also built it in the summer in what I thought was a sheltered spot but when everything died back in the winter it was rather exposed!
