I can't wait to get some sleepy bats hanging in our new back yard project : The Bat House!
After a few nights of watching 3 local bats soar above the sunset at dusk, we had the idea of building them a place to "hang out". This would be the ultimate insect eater and pollinator for our garden! I can't wait until those bats find our bat house! I'll explain in more detail on how we made this in the future...
For more information on bat houses, look here:

Try building one for your house today and see if you can help bats thrive. Remember that bats help control pests and are vital pollinators and seed-dispersers for countless plants.
Follow along with me as I create and maintain organic raised garden beds and landscape in the extreme and unforgiving Arizona desert! Learn, share and ask questions. Together this garden blog will provide valuable knowledge of working organic principals to create your own mini ecosystem. Let's make the garden the first place you want to go and the last place you want to leave!
