That’s a 1,000-year-old myth. I use my pincers for folding my wings and catching small insects. I hunt and eat dozens of aphids and mite eggs every night. I am a "Generalist Predator." If you have me in your window boxes, I’m the reason your flowers aren't covered in plant-sucking pests. I’m the night-shift security for your balcony garden. What to do: If I get inside, I’m just lost. Use a piece of paper to put me back in the garden. I’m worth $50 in organic pesticide. I’m sorry for the "scary" look. But your roses are aphid-free because of me." #Earwig #GardenSecurity #NatureFact #OrganicGardening

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.” ― Frank Herbert, Dune

What most people treat with pressure-impregnated chemicals, creosote, and toxic preservatives that leach into surrounding soil for decades was solved permanently by Japanese and British hedgerow builders using nothing but a controlled fire applied to the below-ground timber section before installation. Meet Sunken Fence Post Charring. Japanese Yakisugi timber charring documentation and British hedgerow management records both confirm post-charring as standard installation practice for centuries — carbonized timber in wet ground lasting forty to sixty years without any preservative treatment. While modern pressure-treated timber leaches arsenic, copper, and chromium compounds into surrounding soil continuously from the day of installation, a charred post surface is completely chemically inert and contaminates nothing it touches. The particular sharp, clean smell of a fence post section burning in a controlled fire on a dry autumn morning — the surface carbonizing to a dense black crust while the structural timber beneath remains completely undamaged — is a craft memory almost no working fencer under fifty carries anymore. Hold the below-ground section of any wooden post in a controlled fire until a solid quarter-inch carbon crust forms across the entire surface, allow it to cool completely, then install directly into wet ground."
