that attracting them- scatter them around the plants-birds will not eat the pellets but if you are worried about that then wildlife friendly pellets are available Thank you, Sotongeoff, I will give that a go, and in the meantime sow lots more in pots to put out by Jimeva

Encouraging bats in our gardens
We talk a lot on here about encouraging beneficial wildlife in our gardens but not a lot about bats.  Did you know a tiny pipistrelle can consume 3,000 midges in one night? We used to have a colony of about 30 when we moved here about 20 years ago by obelixx
