Bug Predators Access to Raised Beds

Toad house?

upside down clay pot with a crack in the side big enough for the toad/frog to get through. can be about anything.

what i would worry about in any planter is that it gets too hot and dry for froggies and toads.

Toad house?

this is one version we've got here, even if it isn't in the right location or quite right with the holes it might still work if put on the ground under a plant or in a shady moist spot. i think we're trying to attract alien toads or frogs with this one. Mom gets a bit into decorating her rocks sometimes...

So my entire garden consists of raised beds. A mix of 24" plastic barrels and 18" tall wood bed. The barrels are super smooth so don't seem

How do I get the bug predators like toads and skinks to climb in and eat to their hearts content? I have plenty of tiny frogs, skinks, etc in the cardboard mulch around my containers. But my garden was decimated last year. Any ideas?

Soapy water, Mix 5 tablespoons of dish soap with 4 cups of water in a bottle and spray plants with the solution. The soap will dehydrate aphids and spider mites. you can try this too..
