We all would like to live “greener” but how do we do it without breaking the bank?
Take that old birdbath and put it on the ground! Why? Because it will attract beneficial critters that will eat the ones that annoy you and save the environment by not using chemical control!
Beneficials include but are not limited to:
- frogs
- toads
- salamanders
- lizards
- spiders
- snakes, yes, I said snakes ( I feel a very old Jim Stafford song that my dad would sing with every time it came on the radio… ”I don’t like spiders and snakes and that ain’t what it takes to love me… like I wanna be loved by you…..”)
A drop of soap in a spray bottle container of water will knock off aphids, baking soda is a pretty good fungicide and a mix of raw eggs and water will hold back bunnies.
Don’t expect these mixtures to last like chemicals, though. Rain will wipe out any effect.
