For pollinators & beneficial insects, I let 11 acres go natural. Whatever nature plants is what we have. I notice a change in predominate plants each year. One year it will be Queen Anne's Lace, another year it will be thistle. We always have milk weed, but I notice dandylions only grow where mankind has cultivated. They stop at the edge of the woods or unplowed meadow. Anyway, loads of insects within 700 feet of my gardens. My gardens & perennial beds have always been organic, and in 1979 I became certified.
