Making a Toad House

You may have to double click on photo to read it. Toads are great garden helpers with eating insects.

But like everyone, they need a home. Creating little places for them to live will help encourage them to stay. I have tried the soil ridge a couple of times with success. The first time I heard about it...I was thinking 'yea right.' So I made a ridge, placed an old board against it, and forgot about it. Several weeks later, I remembered and took a look. I think I let out a little eek noise as I jumped backwards as 6 toads were all nestled in behind the board and staring at me. Give it a try, gardeners can use all the hlep we can get!
