Don't know about that. My late mother had a neighbour Ca 1950 who grew
cabbages the size of footballs. What with poverty, food rationing and
all that he was very generous and gave her plenty when he had them.
One day she asked him "What do you put on them ?"
"Old Wesh" he replied.
"What's that ?" she asked.
"Well, we keep a bucket in the bathroom" ... was the answer.
At the next "neighbourhood meeting" (over the garden fence) mum was
reported to have said :
"And 'e's no need to come round to my 'ouse with 'is cabbages"
Nightsoil. I'm too scared to experiment, but I know someone who does
and I've never found his crops better than with horse manure. Any crap
would do I think ;o)
