Today ’s pic are form Benjamin Vogt in Lincoln , Nebraska . Benjamin says,“Here are several figure of speech of my prairie - esque garden . I begin the garden in July of 2007 ( almost 5 twelvemonth old ! ) . I habituate 75 % native perennials , shrub , and tree , and do copious amounts of research so the correct flora goes in the ripe place – the plants then need me hardly at all . I reduce down everything by hand , using the wasteland as mulch , and use hollow - stemmed plants to create mason bee bundles to hang on the fencing .
“ I raise , on average , 200 monarch butterflies each year , and garden for worm . The garden attract twice as many insects each year ( seriously ! ) , and more and more birds feeding on them . I apply no chemicals , and predatory insect often take care of the bad ones within days . ”Holy cow , Benjamin , that ’s gorgeous ! ! Thanks for sharing your garden with us ! * * * Benjamin has a blog ! agree it outHERE . * * *
