Pissing on compost
 
A question for those who **** on their compost heap. How often do you apply
it? What ratio do you? Neat or mixed with water.

thanks.

How often do you apply it? When I need to.


What ratio do you? Don't know. Never measured it.

Neat or mixed with water. Mixed. Simply because it's simpler to get a couple
of inches of water in a bucket, pee in that and pour the mix on the compost.

Which you won't pass on without his permission, presumably? It's all too
easy for any old bod to contact you for that now. ;-(

If someone wants to get in touch there's indeed lots of way - he's been
in touch via Guy King on uk.sheds. The sheddies have sent him a card
too. Now if you want to write, I'll give it to you, but I'll give it to
someone who's been around here for a while and who knows him. Not just
anybody off course.

Please do not distribute his address to anyone.He would prefer you to make
any contact through a third party such as Guy King.

I don't know who Guy King is but I do think it unwise to give out someone's
address without their permission. There's no knowing whether they'll pass
it on to others, or indeed if Rusty - or anyone else - will appreciate it
being handed out. I'd rather act on the basis that if anyone wants others
to have their address, they'll give it to them personally.
Some years ago I was given a severe ticking off by a past poster because I'd
given the email address of someone who used to post here. Happily, the
email addy I gave was the one she'd always used on this group so I had
disclosed nothing that couldn't be found in the archive and my ticker off
apologised. But people do feel strongly about this and rightly so, IMO.

When the missus is not looking!

Depends on how much beer I have had

I'm not sure you're likely to hit the upper limit.
I used to live in a house with an outside loo. Overnight, rather than
face the trip outside, we used to pee in a bucket, almost filling the
bucket in the morning. I'd tip this into an 18 inch square hole (about
12 inches deep) in the morning along with the tea leaves and veg
peelings. The garden was only about 20ft by 10ft, so we had very little
garden waste to add. It turned into the most perfect compost I have ever
made, studded with beautiful new potatoes from the peelings. And we
never had problems with smell.

To answer your question - nowadays, I apply any time I need to while in
the garden (ie, virtually never in the winter, perhaps two or three
times a day on summer weekends), neat. Or mixed with rainwater,
depending on the state of the tub I use as a delivery mechanism.

Yes. uk.rec.sheds. You need to speak sheddi language and have an advanced
sense of humour:-)
