Biodiversity means the diversity of life. The increase in the number of animal and plant species has several advantages . In addition to the spread of rare or endangered species, increasing biodiversity is a response to the management of invasive species . A large number of different species avoid having one population take precedence over another. This is true for animals as well as for the plant kingdom.
Trees and shrubs, hedges, wild flowers or those of cultivated plants play an important role in life of the animal population. Shelter, food, plants provide lodging and cover . To destroy a plant species is to take the risk of delete in his garden many animals useful for the maintenance of other individuals of the two kingdoms.
Let what comes naturally grow. And let's ask ourselves the right questions:can I leave this species? Why ? Is mowing enough? Should everything be removed, stems, roots? Where is the alternative?… What can I plant to increase biodiversity.
A friend told me "Gardening is managing and managing is planning". Yes I know, it's not easy...
