“Because honeybees aren’t native, they disproportionately love non-native plants … and that includes lots of invasive plant species,” MacIvor says. “One of the biggest visitors to a lot of these non-native and invasive plants are honeybees, [and they] then set seeds and spread.” #rewilding #bees #pollinators #gardening #honey #landscapinghttps://www.rewildingmag.com/the-trouble-with-urban-beekeeping/

The Trouble With Urban Beekeeping

Trying to help the bees? Here's why experts say it’s time to rein in the honeybee craze and turn to pollinator gardens instead.

So you want to put native plants in your yard – great! But where do you find them, and how do you know they're the right ones?

one man's scrap is a another man's perfect fit. corollary. "you have a huge piece of thick underlay that would easily fit that entire area! Why don't you just do it in one piece?" "why would I do it in one piece when I could use up 10 pieces? 😆" ground is level or at least as level is it is going to be under my supervision lol. Laying down some gardening cloth to keep out blackberries mostly. Next I will put down drainage rock which will bring it to the right level to put down the rubber horse mat, which will then be the same height as the other shed #poolpond #backyardProject #diy #landscaping #wastenotwantnot

just cleared some of the rocks I had stored along the edge of the pond. Use them for some of the rocks under the shed since it doesn't matter if they're dirty. At the same time doing the scariest thing in pond making. Cutting a liner away. It's sort of like taking off training wheels. You're not sure if things just gonna collapse lol but you're pretty sure it's OK #bcstorm #poolpond #backyardProject #diy #landscaping #wastenotwantnot

rock down. rock tamped. horse pad down! ready for the shed which is arriving 3 days early! woo! It takes a full day to assemble though so no new shed pics today. first, I have to take everything out of this shed and probably unscrew it from the mat so that I can turn the whole thing 90° #poolpond #backyardProject #diy #landscaping
