    Red bulbs are best where fireflies may be nesting. Yellow adversely affects them.

    1. We say that native plants adapt and do the best in our area relative to desease , pest and moisture requirements…..but if a non native becomes invasive, doesn’t that mean it is also adaptive to desease, pests and the available moisture and is thriving which is why we are told to use a native . It seems like if we plant a non native and it thrives. We are told to use a native so it has natural limits…and if we plant non native and it Doesn’t thrive, then we are told we should have used a native so it would have thrived and self propagated

    • @magdalen5108
      @magdalen5108 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey native adapt and are at the same time in balance with nature and don't destroy eveything around it like Garlic Mustard. Non native invasives (not all non natives are invasive), destroy the ecosystem and are dead zones for pollinators. This is a really easy fucking concept and not hard to understand.

    • @magdalen5108
      @magdalen5108 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Natives adapts and can be aggressive but they won't destroy eveything around it. They are essential for pollinators. Non natives that are also invasive are dead zones for pollinators and often destroy eveything around it. It's really not difficult to understand. Non invasive non natives require more maintenance, watering fertilizer, etc etc

    Really excellent advice! Well put together. Have personally applied the same approach which excludes all bark mulches. Weed germination dramatically reduced over the 3 to 5 yr development of a micro prairie up in SW New Hampshire, by chopping up, then spreading all the grasses.
