I'm used the word "excuse" deliberately because somehow, call it
instinct, I often got the impression that what the somewhat potty pro-
pee proclaimers were really after was an excuse to 'mark' their
territory, as opposed to working in a very large garden, or that of
someone else's where it would be impractical to travel all the way
back and remove muddy footwear, or unwelcomed to do so.

* * *Your animal instincts are awry.
Ah, but my instinct related from the degree to which pro-pee postings
had a tone of gleeful proclamation and some people seemed eager to
repeat the exercise as if the scent of their last posting had faded
away.

* *I think it's just that this is one of many topics that have come up
regularly for over a decade
Just like worms for the compost bin, *there's only so much to be said

And sometimes it seems to be getting repeated to death by the same
posters.


Territory in this sense is not a warning on a boundary fence, mate, or
door, but an unfocused declaration to outline maleness or earthiness
or some-such.
Perhaps their own animal instincts are awry and that they do not post
so dam nearly obsessively on the subject to ward of competitors, to
protect their plants, nor necessarily to directly influence female
readers to be attracted to them given how marking can work that way
too.

* *How does your theory account for the fact that women pee in the
compost heap too?

It is quite good that some posters are willing to repeat the same advice
over and over again, otherwise newbies would find their questions
unanswered.

That's true, but I'm not thinking about those occasions when peeing in
the compost is mentioned in such circumstance, but those occasions
when it seems to get dragged in even in other threads a bit like
someone wants to show off... er... something.

I was peeing on my compost and in my watering can long before usenet was
discovered by a callow youth.

I think so. It's good to think of new gardeners coming along and
getting answers, tips, hints, bit of hard-found wisdom etc. That's how
the 'old' gardeners learned their craft. Proper gardeners, that is.
My husband - 60 years a nurseryman, descendant of nurserymen - told me
of an 'old boy' who said to him "listen to the old boys. They'll
chatter on but every so often a little nugget will come your way and
you'll have learned something." Well, he did listen and he learned
and when asked, he passes on what he learned. That's gardening, not
some J come lately who's all mouth and no trousers.

So were our Grandfathers and Great Grandfathers albeit, with
