🍎 Create a thriving mini-ecosystem under your apple tree with this balanced companion planting guild:
🌿 Borage improves pollination and deters pests with its bright blue blooms.
🌼 Yarrow attracts beneficial insects and enhances soil nutrient uptake.
🧄 Chives keep aphids away while boosting tree resistance to disease.
🍃 Artemisia helps suppress weeds and repels unwanted insects.
🌸 Marigolds control nematodes and brighten the guild with natural pest-fighting power.
🌺 Nasturtiums act as a trap crop for aphids and whiteflies, drawing them away from your tree.
💡 Tip: Mulch well and allow plants to form a living groundcover—this boosts moisture retention and suppresses weeds naturally. #gardening #companionplants #appletrees

"WHEN THE CROW FEELS SICK… IT LOOKS FOR ANTS
Just as you read. When a crow feels unwell, it perches near an ant nest, spreads its wings, stays still, and lets the ants attack it.
They do it for a powerful reason: ants spray its body with formic acid, a substance that acts as a natural antiparasitic. This acid helps the crow eliminate fungi, bacteria, and parasites, allowing it to recover without the need for medicine.
This behavior is called “anting” and has been observed in various bird species. It’s an incredible example of animal self-medication.
Nature never ceases to amaze us with its silent wisdom!" #Nature
