Our city banned pesticide use a few years ago. The boulevards and lawns are now covered in wild flowers. It’s beautiful. Insects are coming back slowly.
I would KILL for that! Here in 'Murica, in the South at least, the screams would be deafening.
Told a customer at Lowe’s that I didn’t use any sort of poison on my lawn, only excepting hydramethylnon for fire ants. They looked at me like I’d grown a second head, the idea utterly incomprehensible.
What shocked me was the dandelions. In the oldendays they were a scourge, blanketing lawns and fields and growing right back after getting mowed. But now they have a little bloom in the spring then are gone. Replaced by species that stick around longer and often duck under the lawnmowers. Always blew my mind that people would rather the latter.
We hardly have them in the South, at least not in NW Florida. Growing up in Tulsa, they were considered a scourge. Wonder if they still have them back home?
