Thanks so much for this informative article!! Great and easily doable ideas!
Nicely done! I need to share this at next Master Gardener meeting......and next Wild Ones meeting.
This link to this informative article appeared in my local Nextdoor feed in November, just as my town (which is a designated Tree City) is raking for communal leaf shredding and decomposition. The information here influenced me to gather my half-decomposed linden-tree matter and place in a ‘wild area’ of my corner property. Here’s to the health of the winged things!
Great article. Wishing that more people would heed the suggestions.
We need more pollinator homes with empty tubes of various sizes.
I NEVER rake my small back yard. Every year numerous birds visit it to glean insects and seeds, from cardinals and robins to wrens and thrashers.
Sure thing, Elizabeth! We will be in touch to walk you through the process.
Thanks for the 50 degree tip. I have wondered when to remove stems of flowers.
This care is so important for not just Chesapeake Bay but everywhere!
I would love permission to submit this article to my neighborhood magazine (with author credits of course). I have left my leaves this year, but live surrounded by zealous neatniks (I used to be one!).
The article is informative, but not too long!
Thank you!
