DON’T CLEAN UP YET!

SCIENTIFIC FINDINGS:

February cleanup reduces beneficial insects by 90%

• Natural yards have 200% more biodiversity
• Delayed maintenance saves 1000s of pollinators
• Research shows spring cleanup should wait 6 weeks

*photo is mine, there is no way I’d be out there cleaning up right now! With the brutal temps (highs only in the 20s (-6C) over the weekend and snow/ice on the ground, it can wait!)

hope you have a great day!
thanks for stopping by!!

9 Better Winter Insulators than Foam: ask a prepper …“You’ve probably installed foam insulation because every building supply store pushes it first. I did the same thing on my barn renovation five years ago. The R-value charts convinced me, and the installation went fast. Then problems started showing up. The foam separated from my rafters during temperature swings, creating air gaps that killed its insulating value. When I needed to add ventilation fans, carving through that rigid foam took four times longer than expected. I pulled samples out and noticed they’d absorbed moisture despite being “closed-cell.” That failure sent me looking for materials that actually work in real winter conditions, not just laboratory tests.” …Sheep’s Wool Insulation, Cellulose Insulation, Cork Panels, Straw Bale Walls, Hempcrete, Wood Fiber Board Insulation, Clay–Sawdust Composite, Recycled Denim Insulation, Living Roof Soil Layers
