[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand the biodiversity and habitat arguments. I really do. I also don't [i]want[/i] a yard full of bees, and I don't care for the look of native gardens. I want a place for my kids to play and I like to grow vegetables. I am in a constant battle against my neighbors' ivy and creeper, which a yard full of native plants would just make it harder to keep in check. So I get it ... but I don't do it. [/quote] Then you don't actually understand the arguments. A loss of bees and other pollinators would be catastrophic for everyone. Where do you think your food comes from? LOTS of food crops rely on pollinators, and the entire ecosystem relies on the food chain of insects and birds. You don't do it because it's not pretty and you don't like bees. You don't get it at all. [/quote] Do you only plant "native" vegetables too?[/quote]
