Pollinators

Pollinators are essential partners in a productive Growing Dome, especially for fruiting crops like tomatoes, peppers, squash, and many others. Some plants self-pollinate or can be hand-pollinated, but real pollinator activity dramatically improves yield and fruit quality. This category brings together writing on pollination in a Growing Dome: which crops need pollinators and which don't, how to support pollinator activity inside the dome, attracting outdoor pollinators in during open-vent seasons, hand pollination techniques, and stories from owners on the role pollinators play in their dome's productivity.
