01:43 The video ends with a reminder to water the bucket of biodiversity.

Take a simple bucket and add plants such as grass, daisy-shaped flowers, and sorrel to attract pollinators and butterflies.

Instead of placing the drainage holes underneath the bucket, come up about two or three fingers deep so that there is a reservoir for water.

It saves on water and prevents flooding.

No, the grass is a healthy plant and you can simply position it into place in the bucket.

Most daisy-shaped flowers will attract bees because the nectar is easily accessible.

Butterflies will lay their eggs on sorrel, so adding sorrel to the bucket will attract butterflies and caterpillars.

Choose plants with complementary or contrasting colors to create an attractive planter that also attracts different varieties of biodiversity.
