DoomsdaysCWExcerpt from "How to make your yard a friendlier place for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pollinators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pollinators</a>"<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Pollination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pollination</a> doesn't only produce more plants – it also helps make fruits and vegetables larger, more abundant, and even more flavorful.by Abby Jackson, January 22, 2024 The Cool Down [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/US" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#US</a>-based publication]How to Support Pollinators in Your Yard"Plants are the foundation for every living thing on our planet, and without pollination, plants would be unable to reproduce and our food supply would be at risk."Here are a few things you can do to support their safety and protect our food resources for years to come: - Avoid <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pesticides" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pesticides</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/herbicides" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#herbicides</a>, and synthetic <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fertilizers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fertilizers</a> as much as possible. - Choose flowering plants that produce pollen and nectar, that are native to your area, and that support a variety of pollinators. Avoid hybrid plant varieties, as they've been bred specifically for aesthetics and may have unattractive nectar. - You can use the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NationalWildlifeFederation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NationalWildlifeFederation</a>'s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NativePlant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NativePlant</a> finder to discover plants in your area that attract pollinators. The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AudubonSociety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AudubonSociety</a> has a similar search that identifies native plants in your area that attract birds. - Follow seasonal changes and diversify your yard with plants that bloom at different times of the year for year-round blooms. - Remove <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/InvasivePlants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InvasivePlants</a> and weeds when possible. - Provide a hydration station. Birdbaths are hazards for many pollinators because they can easily drown in them and because they are preyed on by other animals. Filling a shallow bowl with pebbles or marbles to a low water level will allow pollinators to drink while sitting on a perch. [I do create "bee baths" with marbles and rocks. I will be very cautious if I decide to provide "bird baths" this summer] - Provide nesting sides, like a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BeeHouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BeeHouse</a>. [Old logs can be good for some bees] - Use certain plants strictly as food for the larvae of pollinators to ensure they will have enough energy to grow and frequent your yard.
