Although pests can certainly be troublesome, it's worth remembering that thieving animals are actually a healthy sign that your garden is part of a larger ecosystem. We generally prefer to think of pests as visitors, but it can be annoying for guests to show up to dinner uninvited. Rather than killing the animals, we think it's safer to simply scare them away with fake owls and bird scare tape. 

Our healthier alternative pest control solutions frighten away critters by tapping into their sympathetic nervous system. When a pest is confronted with a fight-or-flight response, they’ll usually decide they don’t want to fight an apex predator like the Great Horned Owl. We also offer screening devices and barriers of all sizes, like deer netting, bird netting, and bug netting. 

You might also want to consider leaving some of your fruit trees and berry bushes uncovered. We hope your garden can stay connected to the surrounding wildlife. While we naturally want to protect your garden, having some furry visitors can be a good thing. Pesty varmints are just trying to live another day, and while we understand the nuisance they bring to your yard, we encourage gardeners to cultivate a connection with the ecosystem.

Seasonal change can be an unpredictable whirlwind to navigate as a gardener:

• When is the right time to plant my garden? 
• How long do frosts last? 
• Will summer heat waves burn my garden? 
• Is it possible for a plant to get too much sunlight? 
• Will my plants drown when it rains like a monsoon? 
• Do gusty winds damage a garden and hurt plants? 
• Will I need a garden fleece to prevent winter blizzards and snow storms from burying my plants under blankets of snow? 

Dalen is here to help make it easier for gardens and gardeners to manage their gardens amidst heavy weather and climate change — and we think it's fun! Life can be hard, but we should try to bring playfulness and pleasure into some of the thorns nature can throw at us.

Dalen is here to help you choose safer and healthier alternatives for killing weeds. Stop invasive plant growth and deal with unwanted weeds before they have a chance to take root. We highly recommend that you minimize toxins and noxious chemicals, especially in a vegetable garden or anywhere you might be growing herbs or food for your kitchen. 

While wasted soil may not be as big of a deal for landscape designs, if you’re planning on reaping a harvest from your garden, it's important to protect the fruits, veggies, herbs, and food that you eat! Adding unnecessary toxins into the ecosystem isn’t a future that we want to cultivate. We think healthy topsoil is of the utmost importance, and soil biology can be negatively affected by chemical sprays. Don’t overlook the benefits of sustainable garden soil. There are better alternatives for controlling invasive growth, like sheet mulching paper for stopping weeds!
