Why read it?
1 author picked Farming with Native Beneficial Insects as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a must-have book for farmers. It covers ways to increase beneficial insects on the farm. I learned so much about beneficial insects and how to enhance them on the farm through everything from using wild spaces, cover crops, and hedgerows.
So much of the information was applicable to our farm as well. The Xerces Society has many guidebooks for both farmers and gardeners, but I found this one especially fascinating for learning about insects, beneficial insects, and large-scale strategies for increasing biodiversity on the farm.
From Nancy's list on enhance biodiversity of beneficial organisms.
