Hello, this is really interesting. I realised this year that if you want natural control species like parasitic wasps you have to let enough of their prey flourish to attract and feed them, then they can find a healthy balance. I’m going to try your method. Wonder if it would stop the local badgers scoffing all the carrots on the allotments. I had the most amazing numbers of insects in my garden this year due to letting things rewild as far as I dared before someone would object to too many ‘weeds’ – wildflowers! Ended up with a huge greenfly infestation on my sweetpeas followed by an influx of an amazing variety of aphid eating parasitic wasps of all types.
