When I was kid, you could lift up a board in the backyard and find hundreds of bugs. Now my urban back yard still has bugs, but easily 1/10th or even 1/100th of what we had when I was a kid. I use zero chemicals, but who knows what the previous owner did.
I'd really like to encourage a healthy bug population back there, any tips?
