Joe, another great video helping all of us become better gardeners. I started getting intentional about increasing pollinators 4 years ago and I was surprised at the dramatic increase of beneficials within the first year. It's not only great for the vegetable garden productivity it's also fun to watch the variety of beneficials while we're in the garden working. I would encourage everyone to add natives to their garden to help protect and increase the number of beneficials to their garden. You truly can't go wrong when doing this in your lawn/garden no matter what size of property you have.
Well said Darin! I could not agree more! 🙌
Native native native!!! Darin I also had that experience. Once I introduced a few different plant into the yard, dragonflies came, butterflies then birds that now nest in my yard every year. I have frogs, anoles, snakes and even raccoons ( who don't mess with my veggies). My yard appeared very sterilization the beginning. I'm sure there was life here but it became exponential Once I added my touch.
i am constantly telling people grow Native to help bring the native pollinators back! I grow native and continue to help the environment and my garden 🦋🐛🐝🐞🌻
Well said! Keep on doing what you do! 🙌
Gives me hope
Excellent! 👍
The skepticism regarding Cascadian farms comes from General Mills’ decision to work against labeling laws. I know how these things work so I still buy Cascadian Farms foods but not when I have other organic choices. I’m not interested in supporting a large corporations when I can support true biodynamic agriculture and smaller farms that sacrifice a lot to offer organic produce.
Well said! 👍
I don’t agree with him. Malnourishment is a form of starvation. Ask anyone with pellagra or scurvy. And without the pollinated foods, we lower our nutritional diversity, thus making any challenges with what edibles remain even more potentially devastating. Also, if the loss is irreversible, we would see what other repercussions issue from that. It is a serious issue.
Yes it is. 👍
