Kind of like the difference between putting the dead flowers on the compost heap, as against sending them to landfill.

I plan runs to eliminate the maximum number of bugs form my circle within the mileage I want to do. I also plan runs to revisit flowers I have previously planted. It would probably make more sense, in terms of scoring the most points, to pay more attention to where the coins are and focus on scooping up the maximum number of them - but that isn't what has grabbed my attention. You play how you like - and if what you like is just to run and see what happens, do that

I don't like my circle being too messy so I do have a tidy up now and again. I only realised the value of the coins after someone pointed it out to me a while back. Angie, I mainly do any planning just to give me somewhere to aim for. Eg, yesterday I saw a big fire on the railway line so thought I'd better go and put it out and were there any flowers to water or pick whilst out there.
Spleen Nov 2013 11:02am, 18 Nov 2013 525 posts	Quote Pin Spleen It partly depends where you are in the month. I'm not sure how many points each bug deducts, but a good bug sweep can get my daily penalties down from 6,000 or 8,000 to about 3,000. Per bug that's probably at least 250 a day - so with all the penalties saved over the course of the month, each bug is worth much more than a coin. In the last week of the month I look more at coins and randoms, because squishing bugs doesn't save many points when the end of the month is going to do for them anyway.
