7 Reasons to Plant More Trees in Your Garden

Plant More Trees in Your Garden



Once you know why you need more trees in your life and in your garden, the “how” will come automatically. As it turns out, you need to realize the reason for planting more trees. One and several plants will follow. Maybe you can crush some more shrubs, bushes, or small trees with a hedgehog. Or you can go with a backyard orchard with many fruits.


An added benefit to a tree world. Plant what works for you in your growing rigidity zone and personal space.


1. Diversity in tree species


The trees are truly incredible! They can mature and die in your life or live for hundreds and thousands of years. No matter how long they have been around, you need to know that there are many native species to choose from. To find out what is native to your area, do some research and select the appropriate book to identify the trees in your area.


2. Plant trees to encourage rewilding



Planting trees for us and fulfilling our needs is one thing. But what about the birds, small mammals, and insects that need shelter and food? Backyard trees can fill them too - really good. In fact, adding trees and shrubs is one of the ten steps you can take to recreate your garden. Trees can attract songbirds, owls, bats, and squirrels, as well as other terrestrial creatures.


3. Trees Provide Shade - Probably the best reason to plant more trees


We all know that trees provide shade in the heat of summer and we have experienced this firsthand. When you have enough sun, you automatically walk down a tree-lined street. Or work in the garden for a long day and sit under a tree with lemons and bathe in the coolness of the canopy. The right trees, planted in the right place, will also help reduce your winter heating needs by blocking the wind.


Consider the fact that they can increase the value of your property, we will get it in a moment, and planting more trees in your Home garden starts to sound like a win-win plan.

4. Food forests - Trees as a source of food



There is no place I want to be other than looking for food in the wild garden. You can find herbs, flowers, bark, fruits, vegetables, and more. Of course, the forest garden will challenge your ideas about what is edible - this is not your typical backyard garden. But, it will provide you with plenty of food to eat from a small space; Foods other than tomatoes, peppers, and carrots.


If you are ready for the challenge, read everything you can about it. Check out our interview with Robert Cayton about his forest garden. If there are any food forests in your area, visit them as well. Maybe you can visit first or create one.


5. Trees help clean the air


The air quality varies greatly from city to countryside, however, you can always find the air in the forest very refreshing and refreshing. If you have not yet experienced this, go for a long walk in the wilderness, or sit in the park for a few hours and realize how easy it is to breathe. Wonderful, isn't it? Trees help clean the air by removing pollutants such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and particles.


6. Erosion control


Can you think of an area that was recently flooded? Are there many trees near it? Or is it the kind of city pavement? There is no crime or shame here, but the treeless urban area (industrial agriculture and commercial development only) asks for occasional and random water sources to run across it. This is what water does, it flows. If it is too high, it will flow harder and faster.


7. Trees and carbon dioxide



I have already read that "trees fight global warming". Sounds a little wrong, doesn't it? Trees are not exactly warriors. In fact, I like to imagine them as peacemakers and protectors. We nurture them and they take care of us.


If life is too simple. What trees do to us is removing carbon dioxide from the air through photosynthesis.


Only time will tell whether they will be able to retain the carbon we continue to produce.

Dwarf shrubs are perfect for small space gardens When thoughtfully designed, a small space garden can be as visually appealing and emotionally pleasing as a sprawling yard.

It's not a yellow ladybug - it's an invasive Asian lady beetle

It's not a yellow ladybug They are similar, but one type helps control unwanted pests in the garden, while the other is a pest. Here's how to tell them apart. You usually want to see a ladybug in your garden, but the yellow ladybug doesn't look like one — it's an Asian beetle. Ladybugs are beneficial to your garden because they eat plant pests. However, many colored Asian beetles look like yellow ladybugs, but have turned out to be an insect. It is common to find large numbers of Asian lady beetles congregating in houses and other buildings in the fall. They can bite and emit an unpleasant odor when disturbed. Unfortunately, these invasive insects crowd out native ladybugs. If you can tell the difference between two pests, you can stop an annoying problem before it starts. Asian Lady Beetles vs Ladybugs You can identify a ladybug by its markings and size. There are many species, and most sport red shells and varying numbers of black spots. Their heads are b...
