Summertime... and the living is easy!

So don't squash them I was told that they not only failed to use worm-friendly ploughing but actually admitted to killing thousands of these lovable and harmless creatures annually as they tilled the soil. How barbaric! Really saunby! no doubt you have peer reviewed references for that statement? See the paper Humpalot I. and P.

Next stop the organic salad, only to be told that the lettuces were protected by placing lethal beer traps for beautiful and friendly slugs and snails that were, after all, only doing what comes naturally. My organic salad is shared with slugs happily, or the sacrificial side of my garden is. What a brilliant idea. Surely a Nobel prize on the way. I rushed back to the nurseryman growing organic lettuce to tell him. We talked agitatedly for some minutes about which languages should be used on notices directing the creatures to the sacrificial sector - Molluscan for one, obviously, but also Caterpillarish and Aphinch. Then we both fell to the ground shrieking "Bwahahahahahaha" made with not an ounce of flesh, just pure Brazilian Soya. Questioning the manager revealed that the soy plants came straight from the Matto Grosso and only a few sorry forest Indians and their families had to die in order to produce it. Peer reviewed, scientific references would be handy once again, Too many to list, Ms. Bee. You should try contacting Greenpeace or WWF if you actually want to know about this human tragedy. But you don't want to know, do you? Forest Indians eat birds and monkeys, so it has to be good news if we replace them with Soya "factories", right? PH |

There's no need to kill slugs, bugs and creepie crawlies! snip Leave tubs of water tucked under bushes for small ground-dwelling creatures to drink from, You won't forget to check those tubs of water every ten minutes to rescue all the creepie crawlies that fall in, will you. Bwahahahahaha..... PH |
