there are some bricks in a pile, torn up from a previous structure on the property, about a hundred yards away from the house. it'll take a little time, but i will be sorting and cleaning them up to reuse them in the garden.
to favour biological solutions, we've got little hiding places for frogs & toads, and will be building some mason bee shelters. i have a preference for relocating spiders that are in the house, instead of killing them ... even though most of the time i have to get someone else to move them for me! LOL
Creating habitat is the best. It also makes me feel really good about myself and us humans when I do that sort of thing. Sure we can dedtory stuff, but we can also nurture and diversify ecosystems.
