Weekly Garden Tip:
According to the World Health Organization, mosquitoes are one of the deadliest animals in the world, causing millions of deaths every year. And while chemical mosquito repellents and electronic bug zappers are touted as being effective against these vampires, the latter often kills more random insects than mosquitos and the former has created mosquitoes immune to the chemical warfare.
Your number one strategy to combat these vampires is hole-y water. 😅
That is, oxygenated moving water. Even the smallest of stagnant bodies of water without air bubbles are breeding places for mosquitoes and can spread disease. Overwatering your garden causes many of these breeding grounds, so reduce your water usage as much as possible. Fill in or mulch dips where puddles might form, and make sure you bless your ponds and bird baths with circulation by adding fountain pumps.
