Beneficial Bug Mix

Works really well!

I planted this mix in a difficult-to-reach, infertile, but sunny patch of my urban courtyard garden. Not only is it beautiful, but it is covered in beneficial insects---I see many different kinds of tiny wasps, tachinid flies, and helpful pollinators every time I check on my garden. I planted it rather late in the season, but still got decent germination of many of the included species; by far the best results of the three different Territorial flower mixes I tried ("A bouquet every day" and "PNW wildflower mix" both did ok, but not as impressively as this one). I wasn't sure that this would be successful in an urban environment, but it's been great. Highly recommend this to anyone who wants to manage pests in their garden the natural way!

The Bugs Came

I get aphids on several of the vegetables I grow. I planted the beneficial bug mix and the lacewings and the lady bugs came and cleaned out the aphids. Looks good too.
