Default dog-poop?!?!

I used to know a professional gardener who swore that dog poop was
the
best
thing to fertilise lemon trees. Not tried it myself but given the
regular
advice I hear about the six-pack beer fertiliser for lemon trees and
the
planting of a passionfruit on top of a cow's liver, I'm not going to
discount his advice till I have tried it.

I haven't heard of the six-pack beer fertiliser for lemon trees

Find a willing male. Buy him a six-pack of beer and make sure he
drinks
the lot in one sitting. When the inevitable happens, make sure he
points Percy
at the soil around the base of the lemon tree. Standard advice on
local
gardening shows round here is that this is the household male's last
nightly
job (beer or no beer).


Oh, come on Bill, what's that quote about you're not really free until
you can **** off your front porch?


LOL.
Serves me right for asking doesn't it. :-)


:-)) I did think that you might see it coming :-))

Does this work on limes too?


Dunno. Limes don't grow in our climate, but given that they are also
citrus, it would be worth a try. Why waste free fertiliser?
