Re: Thoughts

Thanks.

When I make challenges like this, I try to imagine different opportunities and barriers that people might have. Then I suggest variations. One could plant a wildlife garden, put a container garden and a birdbath on a balcony, use a community garden, or support a wildlife refuge. They all help in different ways. Heck, you could hand a few bucks to a broke gardener friend and let them do the work! "Here, buy a bee plant on me."

Actually, there's an idea -- you don't need a green thumb to put out inert resources. All you need is a small amount of outdoor space. A birdbath, a basking stone, a salt lick, a rotten log, a brush or leaf pile, a rock pile, a hibernaculum, a birdhouse, a birdfeeder, a dust bath, a butterfly puddling area, etc. Of those, water is the most valuable in most areas, but do what's convenient for you. Yeah, I need to copy that to the challenge.
