I bought 25kg of birch logs for £12.50 (€14). Not for burning but to decay in the garden.

Ecologically, a pile of logs rivals a coral reef or a tropical rainforest.

Fungi, parasitic wasps, primroses, shrews, centipedes, frogs, beetles, solitary bees and bumblebees, butterflies, moss.

Each layer will have its own ecology and the species mix will evolve over time.

90% of the life you will never actually see but it will be there and you will be an integral, beneficial component.
