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. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (email address on website) |

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

There is a ng devoted to the shed ethos, which is??? Accumulation of tat or tqt (top quality tat) which may come in useful when you get a round tuit, to be stored in a shed where you go to escape the nastier sides of life (but never, ever actually finish any project or 'molish' anything), and settle down with a pork pie. Unpleasantness in avoided by using a simple cypher for certain words, so that 'work' for example becomes jbex, and this had led to further language developments, and interesting concepts like a 'bonsai shed' - the drawer in the kitchen where all the pieces of string end up. At least, that was the state of affairs a few years ago when we used to hold shed-moots and pop-pop boat races in our garden, but undoubtedly things have moved on a bit since then. -- Kay |

You have no choice but to call things figs or troughs or spades. Or is the point that figs, troughs, and spades, are euphemisms for something else ?

"Janet Baraclough" wrote in message ... The message from "michael adams" contains these words: You have no choice but to call things figs or troughs or spades. Or is the point that figs, troughs, and spades, are euphemisms for something else ? Fig certainly is ; it was a vulgar term for female sex organ, at least 500 years ago, in Italian, Spanish and English. "I don't give a fig" did not refer to fruit, and the modesty "fig leaf" on nudes was a double entendre. Spade = black person. Nowadays yes. But I doubt if that was the case in 1589 when it was first used in English. That usage came from playing cards I believe. In fact I imagine all three were sexual ephemisms. The "spade" was what you used in the "trough". The statement - " I call a spade a spade" is rather paradoxical. As it should really be "I call the male sexual organ a spade" - because I use euphemisms. Which is precisely the opposite of what's being claimed. michael adams ....
