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? :-)


Drink beer, dilute resulting urine to use as fertiliser.
