The Internet offers many opportunities to learn! Check out some information sources that have popped up recently. Any of these sites may offer just what you are looking for.
Pollinator Partnership is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting the animals and insects that pollinate North American ecosystems, farms and gardens. This group offers free downloadable guides to native plants written for specific regions. Simply go to Pollinator Partnership , enter your zip code, and access a free guide to the plants that will benefit our local pollinators.
Horticulture Magazine’s website has a recent article on the causes of hay fever. Although our famous goldenrod blooms in late summer at the same time hay fever symptoms appear, it is not the cause. If you have hay fever, look for the real culprit, ragweed, a regular resident of fence rows and road ditches in Indiana. Since ragweed is pollinated by the wind, its billions of pollen grains can relocate to other plants, our houses and our cars. According to the article, since goldenrod is much more lush and showy than ragweed, our eyes spot the goldenrod and decide to blame that for our discomfort. Those of us with this annual malady can learn to spot ragweed early in its growth cycle and remove it before it releases its pollen.
Is a composting bin something you’ve thought about buying? If you have considered trying out a compost plan, you might want to look at several units available from Kids Gardening. This site is currently offering some sale prices on compact composters and equipment. For example, its Envirocycle Rolling Composter is listed for $169 and a Dual Compost bin is also on sale.
