Creation Kindness π
So close to my heart β€οΈβπ©Ή
If you passed by my garden earlier this morning, you'd have witnessed me whispering into a large garden waste bag that my neighbour was due to take to be burnt.
It's was my second whipsper warning, the other one, on the previous night when filling it.
A kindly whisper to say this garden waste is finally off to the fire tomorrow π₯
My final attempt to warn all the creature's like bugs, spiders & snails , that had I missed them on my 1st prune, gentle shake off, the 2 weeks of the cuttings in my waste boxes, the 1st notice of an imminent escape route!
The final visualisation of them perceiving heat & scattering before any casualties.
It's such a part of my stewardship of Mother Nature All Creature's Great & Small & being a self appointed Guardian of Gaia πππ
Mother Nature our Collective Home so let's caretake it in anyway we can!
What do you do to be sure of best practice/ least harm to our Planet & Nature?
Whether it's a box of frogs as mad as mine or simply ethical products or researching ethical companies I'd love to hear your comments below ππ»
When you lift a snail by its shell while its foot is still gripping the surface, you risk tearing the mantle β the delicate tissue connecting the body to the shell. The damage is invisible. The snail looks intact. It is not. π
How to move one without causing harm:
Place a finger gently on the shell and wait 30 seconds. The snail will sense the contact and release its foot from the surface of its own accord.
Once it has released, slide an open palm beneath the shell to support it.
Place it back down in the direction it was heading β it chose that direction for a reason.
Less than a minute. The difference between a harmless act and a harmful one.
The garden snail (Cornu aspersum) is the most common snail in British gardens. It feeds mainly on dead plant matter and algae alongside living plant material, and plays a role in decomposition and soil turnover. In a garden with hedgehogs, song thrushes, and ground beetles present, snail populations regulate themselves without any intervention.
