re: Adding wild flower bed

Hell yeah brother. Every summer/fall I pick seed pods and split perennials, then rip out another hundred square feet of grass or so and replace it with attractive native flowering plants that attract all the good bugs for my vegetable garden. Best part about native plants is I don't have to take care of them and they reproduce for free! I live deep in a suburb and the stray cats get any kind of rodents and reptiles, which is honestly preferable for my situation, but the insect and avian life in my 2000 sq ft backyard is crazy.

I did the same and have replaced about 50% of the grass in my back yard. Vegetables, herbs, all planted among flowers in the beds.

from fungi to plants to insects to reptiles to mammals & birds, life springs in bewildering variety, and all you have to do is...nothing
