Don't Start Spring Yard Cleanup Too Soon
Give Beneficial Insects the Best Chance of Survival
Public Service Announcement: Attention all homeowners. I know that the days are getting warmer and you are eager to begin your springtime yard/garden clean-up. DON’T!!!! Those dried leaves that you missed with the last autumn raking are essential habitat for many garden beneficial insects that overwinter in leaf litter. Disturbing their habitats before temperatures reach consistently warm numbers is deadly to these hibernating pollinators. Please check out the below resource article from Better Homes and Gardens.
