Lady Bugs 🐞 We released over 1,000 lady bugs into our garden to help with pest control rather than spraying chemicals! Lady Bugs are insect predators and will help keep the garden pest population down. Ladybugs are beneficial for your garden because they eat other insects rather than plant material. Who would have thought something so sweet looking could be such a beast? 😂 Ladybugs can eat between 50 and 60 aphids per day and up to 5000 over its lifetime. They also eat other softbodied insects

Ladybugs are great beneficial insects eating aphids and other pests. The goal is to attract them naturally and if you have a good army, aphids won't be a problem. . . . . #homestead #homesteading #organicgardening #containergardening #vegetablegarden #gardening #mygarden #seeds #backyardgarden #homegrown #growyourownfood #harvest #gardenprep #seedling #gardentipsandtricks | The garden is growing
