Wildfire Smoke Is Ruining Our Food Supply (And Your Garden)

Wildfires aren’t just burning forests — they’re threatening our food supply. Even if your garden isn’t in the fire zone, heavy smoke can block sunlight, coat leaves with ash, drive away pollinators, and disrupt soil microbes. That means slower growth, fewer flowers, and smaller harvests. In this video, we’ll break down: 🌫️ How wildfire smoke impacts large-scale farms and global food security ☀️ The science of light loss, soil disruption, and yield decline in gardens 🪴 What you can do at home to protect your plants and keep food growing during smoky skies This is survival gardening, backed by soil science. #BLUETTI #BLUETTI Apex 300 #SolarGenerator #HomeBackupPower #Hi5BLUETTI Unlock BLUETTI's 5-Year exclusive anniversary deals today and power up with BLUETTI!

In the long summers as a child, she would garden alongside her grandmother and it was then that she realized her love for greenery. With years of great studying, Ashley had begun her post-secondary education at the University of Saskatchewan. At first, her second love, animals, was the career path she chose but while doing her undergrad she realized that her education would take her elsewhere. And with that, four years later she graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a bachelor’s degree in science and a major in Soil Science. Some of Ashley’s interests are YouTube, in which she posts informative videos about plants and gardening. The focus of Ashley’s YouTube channel is to bring science to gardening in a way that is informative but also helpful to others learning to garden. She also talks about the importance of having your own garden and the joys of gardening indoors. Ashley continues to study plants in her free time and hopes to expand her YouTube channel as well as her reach to up-and-coming gardeners.
