WEEK 10 Reflections on Weeds & Poison ☠️

Welcome to Week 10 of the Hive Garden Question! This week we have two related questions for you. We hope you drop in when you can and create responses for all of us to enjoy, and don't forget to engage with others in the community.

@eolianpariah2 shared about a civet in his Indian garden. Poor thing got electrocuted, but still, it was an unusual encounter - especially as they don't have these in his native Norway! He wins a share of the post rewards for this post.

This week is a subject that worries many of us - the use of toxic poisons and fertilisers that destroy other valuable plants and wildlife in the area. For many, controlling weeds and pests is important to their livelihood, and they feel they have no other choice. Others are looking into alternatives or letting nature do what it does. What are your thoughts?

Looking forward to hearing your stories!
