No Nettles - no Ladybirds!

I wonder how close the nettles need to be to the garden, I don't have or want nettles in my garden but they grow in the hedgerows along the lane>

I have loads of nettles in my garden but have seen no ladybirds for many years. I hope you can attract then back into your garden

So do I Hywel, but like you I havent seen any in years. Heron part of my garden backs on to unploughed fields must be nettles there to but alas no LB

Some places have lots. I can't understand it.

Clumps of Nettles behind my Mums garden, backs on to allotments, not a sign of Ladybirds yet. Very strange. : o ( (

We have a large clump of nettles..hard to keep under control...but lots of ladybirds too.Try to keep them confined to one area by compost heap !

No nettles in my garden but pleased to say I have seen quite a number of ladybirds after an absence of a few years.......

I didn't see any ladybirds last year, but this year there seems to be loads, noticed masses of them today on a couple of conifers in the garden, don't know why they're attracted to them ?

So, Ladybirds are a lot more popular than nettles :-)))

I have hundreds of Ladybirds every year, but there aren't nettles anywhere around here.
I've had lots of Ladybirds here since early March .... still no nettles though !

I have no nettles in my garden, but I've seen quite a lot of ladybirds on my plants this spring time.

me too only a little nettles as u need them 4 sum wildlife but allso have lots of ladybirds. there was an infestation of them from a brourd last year tho.
