Ladybugs in the garden will help to eliminate pests like aphids, mites and scale. Getting ladybugs to come to your garden, and more importantly stay in your garden, is easy once you know a few simple facts. Ladybugs eat two things: insect pests and pollen. As long as you have a supply of these in your garden, they will happily take up residence. A few flowers that attract ladybugs are: Angelica, Calendula, Caraway, Chives, Cilantro, Cosmos, Dill, Fennel, Feverfew, Marigold, Statice, Sweet Alyssum, and/or Yarrow. Making sure you have enough bugs in your garden for them to eat may seem counter productive but leaving aphids and other pests alone will help with attracting ladybugs. It may be helpful to plant decoy plants like: Early Cabbage, Marigold, Nasturtium (aphids’ favorite), and/or Radish that will attract and provide aphids while you keep your desired plants bug free until the ladybugs come to do it for you. ・・・ #growninhaiti #ladybugs #pestconteol #natural #organic #nopesticides #balance #donothingmethod #lessismore #fauna #flora #agroforestry #biodiversity #haiti #ayiti #foodforest #gardenfriends #loveyourbugs https://www.instagram.com/p/CASaqttlKh9/?igshid=5pgn33d5a47u
