5.0 out of 5 stars Best Book to Garden Organic- Let Nature Do The Job! This is the
Excellent book, full of pictures and information about how the good insects can be attracted to the garden to control the bad insects so the environment is balanced as an ecosystem.I remember my grandmother sharing a lot of the same information as she showed me her garden full of vegetables and fruits and flowers. I unfortunately grew up convinced that there was an organic powder or spray or trap to fix every problem and worked hard to destroy the system that would have worked if I just left it alone.It makes perfect sense because I developed an allergy to bee stings and had to stop working on my garden of flowers every day but noticed plants looked healthy and full of flowers without the added powders and sprays. Strolling through the garden the leaves on the surface are insect free and if I leave bees alone they don’t bother me. Taking a magnifying glass out and examining the underside of leaves I found all sorts of insects and bugs pictured in the book in various stages of life doing their job and much better than me.Takeaways from the book- add the vegetables and fruits I want to my garden along with companion herbs and flowers and intercrop them so they become an ecosystem in the fertile soil I maintain in my garden and let nature do the rest.My personal takeaway is pray over the garden and let God the Creator handle the rest because He is the master gardener!
5.0 out of 5 stars My Birthday Present to Myself
Did you know that 80% of all animals are insects, and of those, 99% are beneficial or benign?Even if you're not a bug-lover, "Attracting Beneficial Bugs to Your Garden" will help you appreciate those hard-working bugs around your property, and why you may want to invite even more by planting certain flowers and shrubs. You'll also learn why the first sign of an insect pest is usually not a reason to panic.Since starting the book, I've enjoyed spotting many of these characters at work in my own garden, including bees, wasps, butterflies, ladybugs, spiders, and dragonflies.Walliser begins with an interesting peek into the world of beneficials. I loved this section and was left wanting more! She then provides a detailed catalogue of helpful insects and plants, complete with photos, descriptions, even USDA zones. The green sidebars share interesting articles on subjects ranging from invasive insects, to beetle banks, to native plants.There is a vast ecosystem, even in the small backyard garden. As a Christian, I attribute this to my Heavenly Father, who made this world with mind-boggling beauty and complexity. I'm thankful for this book that opened my eyes to even more.I purchased this with an Bolo Gift Card I got for my birthday, and was not disappointed. Filled with quality photos and vivid behavioral descriptions, "Attracting Beneficial Bugs to Your Garden" will likely cause you see your garden from a whole new perspective.
5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of information
The book came great condition and the information is invaluable. This book had us excited to plant all sorts of new plants in the garden and experimenting. Can’t wait to try out some more stuff in the early spring.
4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting and well-presented book
This is a totally enjoyable book written about a topic that not too many gardeners consider – enabling the good bugs in your garden so they can keep the bad bugs in control. Like soil, a good garden is about balance, and when you have a deficit in one area you’re going to have a problem. Our problem is generally killing all bugs to get rid of the one that may be eating our crops. This is an easy and interesting read, my only disappointment is that the lovely pictures make it a little difficult to identify bugs that I am unfamiliar with. I find that I have to go online and look up the individual bugs the author discusses so that I can see a close-up and detailed picture of them. The pictures in the book are very artistic but we could use a little more anatomical detail to recognize the individual bugs. And sadly, the book is silent about earwigs and slugs, two of my worst enemies in the garden. If there were some helpful tips on bullies that would keep them in line, my life would be heavenly.
5.0 out of 5 stars Get This Bug Book!!
The writing is engaging and personal yet factual and helpful. I create bird & butterfly gardens for a living and am learning plenty for this author. I found the book from her podcast. Pounce on this book like a praying mantis! 🐝 It’s quite a value in cost & information!!
5.0 out of 5 stars Great book.
I really like this book. A lot of great information.
essential
Once you start paying to the insect population in your garden, you can’t help but wonder how you missed this important part of your ecosystem before. I now notice the beneficial bugs along with the pest.
Great information, I learnt so much
This is a great book and a handy guide in the garden. This book is the reason I want to learn more about bugs and pollinators. I learnt so much about insects and what plants I should grow to attract the beneficial. After reading this book I have a clear direction of what my plant list is. Now I know pollinators are more than just bees. I have learnt to appreciate bugs such as ants, beetles, and wasps.I recommend this to anyone who has no idea about bugs in your garden and want to start learning.
