How To Make Your Garden A Haven For Bees & Bugs - with Professor Dave Goulson.

[@susietaylor2468]

We need to listen to the scientists like Prof Goulson. We need our pollinators and insects !

These are the type of videos, and the type of information we should be spreading all around our social media. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and for yor labor. From my side, I´ll make sure I share this as much as I can. Each grain of sand makes possible to make a dune. THANKS.

Fantastic listening to this guys knowladge on gardening , very pleasing .

[@thelavishlepidote8539]

I want to get a Doctorate's degree in Entomology because I love insects so I ordered a great textbook about insects. I'm going to create my own garden as you explained for bees and other bugs!

After watching this I’ve started drilling holes into old dead wood stumps etc, my question is I stopped mowing my garden (2 acres) and creeping buttercups have just taken over, are creeping buttercups good for wildlife? Should I be digging as many as I can out? I’m trying to make a wildflower meadow but seeds I’ve bought are just unsuccessful and I think it’s because of the creeping buttercups (looks beautiful though but I don’t just want a sea of yellow choking everything) thanks 👍🏻

Cut the area back now as close to the ground as possible removing all the clippings , then in summer go out in your locality and find the wildflowers growing therein then collect some of the seed and scatter it over the area you want covered , repeat this over the next few years and nature will do its bit , try to reduce the fertility in the soil by removing the clippings use them as compost for your garden.👍😀

[@davidedge2189]

Use a spade to invert the lawn down to at least 6 inches .Do an area you feel comfortable with.Do it in April,then rake once a week until May to remove weeds You can water to get weed germination .Weeds will only germinate in the top 5 mm,so no need to rake below this .Then put your seeds on the top of the soil in early may,and gently tread in .PS hope you don’t mind me trying to help ,I’m a farmer .

[@VictorFursov]

Thank you for interesting and funny video. Best wishes and good luck! If you have some insects pests, you can show it to me too.

[@peterfowler7189]

I’m new to beetles and insects and would like to know more about

[@TimButler0]

You should buy any of Dave Goulson's books as they are a great place to start to learn more.

[@kiddcapri1711]

Shame more haven't seen this... I like to think I did my bit last few years since I first got wind of insect decline, a third of my garden is wildflower's now in the 18 years I lived here this year I've never seen so many insect's in my garden.

[@stuartcarmichael750]

My only experience with Earwigs is having them decimate my turnip plantings... Never knew they ate pests...

[@gardenofpraise567]

Just a few days earlier, when I realized that my husband had spay and killed all the wild violet and Irish moss under my beautiful Japanese Stewartia tree, I literally screamed at him👹

[@naturenurturejm3517]

What are you testing? :-)

[@Peleski]

I don't agree with encouraging people to create stagnant water pools, even if they benefit hover flies, inflicting mosquitos on your neighbours is hardly responsible.

[@donaldlyons17]

he might mean very small sources of water like a bottle cap

[@Peleski]

@@donaldlyons17 mosquitoes can breed in a bit of water on a dead leaf

[@rorkgoose1774]

To correct Mr. Goulson, Organic does NOT mean the absence of pesticides, it means the pesticides the farmer/gardener could use were on the approved list. This false conscription that organics doesn't use pesticides comes from ignorance and lazy thinking. Organics does not mean better. Organics does not mean safe. Organics means only 2 things: 1) the fertilizers and pesticides allowed are on the approved list, and 2) the products sold from an organic operation are overpriced.

[@innovationvisual333]

Information from the Soil Association (who certify Organic standards in the UK) website - "Under the Soil Association’s organic standards, all weedkillers are banned, and farmers are only able to use a very limited number of naturally-derived pesticides as a last resort (like citronella and clove oil), but only under very restricted circumstances. Organic farming avoids the use of synthetic fertilisers, as the principles of organic farming are based on nourishing plants naturally, by building fertile soils. Farmers do this using clover and legumes to 'fix' nitrogen, as well as using compost, animal manure and green manures (like the white clover below), and crop rotations to maintain healthy, nutrient-rich soils. "
