Behold… the UF Bat House!
Can you imagine how much free fertilizer a bat house this size would give you? And how many mosquitoes would no longer live in your neighborhood?
I can’t ever simply do things the easy way. Whereas a normal person would just buy and erect a little bat house, I would like to raise an entire shed into the air on poles.
If I ever end up wealthy, I’ll definitely do it. I’ll go buy the UF bat house and move it to my food forest.
As a side note: why do flying bats mesh so well with techno music? There’s got to be a thesis paper in there somewhere…

But I thought mosquitoes were pollinators. Of tomatoes at least. Where did I hear that?

I dunno. To the best of my knowledge, tomatoes are self-pollinators that require nothing more than the occasional bump from the wind to set fruit.
My Cathedral regularly has families of bats stay over for the winter, and for evening Masses I could hear the bats singing 3 octaves above the sopranos in the choir. Beautiful and eerie. God is amazing.
Whoa. That's awesome.
You know you're a gardener when you consider adding animals just for their manure.
Heh heh.
