Your Garden May Be Harming the Bees, Not Helping Them

By Tiffany 5 Comments

The decline of the bees has been a concern of mine for several years now. I first wrote about why we need bees three years ago and then just again recently with an article on how to attract more bees to your yard and local community. I see personally just how few bees we have buzzing around these days and of course the headlines are full of news too, such as the massive bee deaths that just occurred in Oregon. Movies such as Vanishing of the Bees also highlight the growing problem and it is a … [Read more...]

More Bees Please; How to Attract Bees to Your Yard and Local Community

By Tiffany 5 Comments

Do you know how to attract bees to your yard?  Maybe a better question is why would you possibly want to attract bees to your yard?

You are now responsible for the healthy development of another human life and everything you eat, breathe, and come into contact with for the next nine months can impact that growth and development. Being pregnant is weighty enough as it is without scaring moms to be and throwing a bunch of rules around. Yet the high incidences of autism, asthma, … [Read more...]

Natural and Green Lawn Care

By Tiffany 11 Comments

For years I could brag...I have no lawn. That was when I lived in the desert though. Now I am in the Midwest and yes I do have a lawn and it is enough to make an eco conscious person want to faint. Using a gas mower for one hour will produce the same pollution as driving a car 1300 miles. Ouch! Guess what I have and what I use to mow my lawn? You guessed it...a gas mower. So there is my great green guilty confession for the week. To ease things up a bit we tilled up some land for two big … [Read more...]
