Martin explains how he creates habitats for wildlife alongside the crops he grows on his farm. Some of these habitats include wildflower corridors, ponds, hedgerows and bird boxes. They attract all kinds of insects and birds to the farm.
Martin challenges you next time you visit the countryside to count how many different types of insects and wildflowers you can see.
