#pollinators — Public Fediverse posts

🦋 You can help build up populations of butterflies that already appear in your garden.
* They may need more host plants for more of their caterpillars to feed on.
* They may need more of a certain type of nectar plant for more adults to feed on.

📈 I just posted steps for supporting butterfly populations in my Habitat Gardening blog, in time for you to plan over the offseason. I give 2 examples from my own efforts.

In the Seasonal Improvement section, there is special guidance from the Xerces Society on what NOT to do when you "leave the leaves."

Always with photos from my garden.

I spent some time cleaning up my plot at the #CommunityGarden today, and adding some compost to the soil. Given the issues with the fencing, I'm going to stick to #Buckwheat, #Clover, and #Wildflowers . If nothing else, I'll be gardening for the #Pollinators again. Planning on doing some Fall seeding for the wildflowers this weekend, and will be posting tips and tricks for this week's #SolarPunkSunday !
