In this gardening video, I share how to make a watering station for pollinators like bees and butterflies to attract them to your garden. Pollinators are crucial to the growth and success of your plants, especially vegetables like squash and zucchini.
To make the watering station, you'll need a tray, rocks, and a drip irrigation system already installed. You can find a cheap tray and use rocks from your yard or buy them at a home improvement store. I demonstrate how to place the rocks in the tray to create a surface for insects to access the water without falling in, including building up one area higher than the rest to create a waterfall-like flow. Connect a drip emitter to the watering station and secure it with a rock. Once installed, the watering station will automatically refill every day when your plants are watered by the drip system. The video is aimed at new gardeners and experienced gardeners to help in creating a successful backyard vegetable garden.
