Step 4Wildlife Considerations
Are you wanting to attract wildlife?
If so, you should consider what type of wildlife you would like to attract, how to provide food, water, and shelter, and the effects of chemical use.
We're trying to attract birds beyond just grackles and pigeons, so we have a variety of feeders/food along with a birdbath. I'd also like to attract snakes that eat bugs so there are some shelters for them to live in although I might get something other than snakes. Since most of my gardening is organic (and I'm lazy with pesticide/herbicide/fertilizer), chemical concerns are a bit moot. However, it should be noted that even if you are gardening organically, you can still scare off some good stuff such as if you're a little heavy with the Neem spray.
