The President in Washington sends word that he wishes to buy our land. But how can you buy or sell the sky? the land? The idea is strange to us. If we do not own the freshness of the air and the sparkle of the water, how can you buy them? Every part of the earth is sacred to my people. Every shining pine needle, every sandy shore, every mist in the dark woods, every meadow, every humming insect. All are holy in the memory and experience of my people.
In this video you will see lady bugs and praying mantis released into my garden. The adventure turned into a family celebration, as we watched them climb up each plant, looking for aphids, mites, caterpillars and such. These bugs of prey are referred to as Beneficial’s, and have names like assassin bugs. I am willing to try anything within reason to reduce my exposure to pesticides. When my garden was ravaged with leafhoppers, caterpillars, and flea beetles I prayed these beautiful little creatures could rescue my precious crops. So far so good, no spraying, has taken place. My garden has improved since the release of the Beneficial’s – AKA Assassin bugs.
