Bug hotels may not last forever, but their journey doesn’t have to end when they start to show their age.
Jesmonite is designed with sustainability at its core. Compared to traditional concrete and stone, Jesmonite has a non-solvent, water-based composition, making it a gentler option for the environment.
When your Jesmonite bug hotel has reached the end of its useful life, it’s time for a new mission. Instead of discarding it, here are a few ways to repurpose it:
Irrigation for Plants: Crush the old Jesmonite into small pieces and use them to improve drainage in your potted plants.
Decoration for New Hotels or Gardens: The lightweight, stone-like texture of crushed Jesmonite makes it ideal for enhancing your garden. Use it to add flair to new bug hotels or sprinkle it along garden paths for a decorative, eco-friendly touch.
A Creative Cycle: For DIY enthusiasts, broken-down Jesmonite can be reused in new projects. Craft fresh bug hotels, garden ornaments, or other features, continuing the life of your old hotels!
Saying goodbye to a well-loved bug hotel doesn’t mean it’s done.
By repurposing Jesmonite, you can extend its eco-friendly benefits in your garden, whether as irrigation, decoration, or inspiration for new creations.
