A plea from the froggies

[groovy]

Yesterday I had a bonfire. Luckily I checked the piles of garden
rubbish before putting them on the fire, as I found loads of frogs
that I returned to the pond. Even though the rubbish was very
dry, the frogs were still hiding in it. So as we enter autumn/fall
can I pass on a plea from the froggies to check before lighting
up. Ribbit.

And that's why my pond has steps for the toads to get out. (Somebody --
Nedra, maybe? -- *please* stop me before I start singing "Stairway to
Heaven"!!!!! Oops, too late...... <grin>)

May I ask why you burn it rather than leaving it as a refuge for frogs,
newts, worms, nutrients to go back into the soil, etc.?

I've removed a couple of big trees and trimmed back two others and
thats overwhelmed my compost heap. I kept a log pile in a damp area
for the stag beetles (I suspect that these are different to the ones called
stag beetles in the US - as they aren't a pest and are quite rare) but I
still ended up with four huge piles of extremely flammable pine branches
that were getting to be a fire hazard - they had to go.

Thank you for keeping natural habitats. I live in an area where I watch the
land around me turned into concrete as people rake up, bag, and put on the
street for trash pickup anything that is not something they planted or had
planted. DK
