Bark Beetles Quick Tips Natural Pest Control
Bark beetles are common tree pests that can damage and kill trees. They are most damaging to pines and other conifers, especially those already stressed by drought, disease or damage. Signs of infestation include small holes in bark where beetles have bored in or emerged, galleries under the bark, and tree sap or dust coming from holes. To reduce bark beetle attacks, keep trees healthy through proper care like irrigation, thinning dense stands, and avoiding injuries to bark and roots. Remove severely infested trees and protect healthy trees through good cultural practices rather than insecticide use, as chemicals cannot save infested trees.

Gardening for wildlife
Today we are going to talk about holistic gardening, which is nothing but organic gardening. We plant flowers for our own enjoyment and vegetables for food. There is a whole universe of insects, butterflies and birds who also benefit from our gardening. By using chemicals in our garden we poison ourselves slowly-sometimes over generations-. That is because we are bigger built than most of the wildlife we see in our gardens. These wildlife perish when chemicals are used either in the form of pesticides or in the form of fertilizers.
Todays talk is about my experiences as a gardener for the last about ten years in Gurgaon. About the wildlife I observe in my garden which gives tremendous pleasure and meaning to my gardening efforts.
Conserving wildlife does not mean saving tigers and elephants alone, it means conserving the whole web of life and we as garden enthusiasts can play a BIG part in conserving the web of life.
