So, . I know the right thing is to live and let live, we have a large wild and wet area in our garden that all manner of things thrive in but our efforts at for human consumption are being thwarted by all things .

We are organic and as much "nothing in nothing out" as we can manage so I'm not up for chemical protection. I would rather deter than kill. Is there anything that works?

I've tried copper rings, egg shells, ash, sand, grit etc.

We collected while we were there, and this was my first time! Here are a few of the fossil that I collected from the Ordovician strata. This includes, from left to right, up to down: a , a , a and , and a .

Nine Spiked Snail

If you’re character is unlucky enough to fall upon, step on or accidentally grab one of these docile gastropods, and get punctured, and fail a type G hazard check, then you’re in trouble. While the neurotoxin doesn’t kill the victim, it does slow them to half speed and only allows them to act every second turn. In the ruins, that usually means death.

Some round things from my @norwichsciencefestival and @norfolkwt sample. a foraminifera, a copepod egg, and a Gastropod larva. As always, correct me if I’m wrong!
