Anyone heard about this or seen the programme?


No, but I wondered if the fertilizer was added before or after
processing, if you see what I mean. :-)

ISTR Bob Flowerdew suggesting that on TV, long ago.



What? Peeing on the plant after partaking or diluting cider as a feed? :-)

I would imagine the cider would be acidic so that may help the citrus trees
who prefer acidic conditions but what about the other stuff in it, sugar,
alcohol etc how will that affect the plant/soil?
