Allotments 4 All

To get back to the problem of the shrimp heads - if that happened on our allotments, every fox, rat ansd cat in the neighbourhood would be digging up the plot and making a real mess, probably before the shrimp and fish heads even started to smell!

Chill out Buster, you'll give yourself a hernia, all that typing without any full stops!

Don't you know that cats will NOT eat food that is going off?  In fact I have heard that the best way to find out if your food is "off" (presuming you have lost your sense of smell as well as humour) is to offer it to your cat.  Not sure if this works for non English food though.

I've got a tub of rotting comfrey leaves in my back garden - that stinks high heaven.  We also collect mussel shells to bash into pieces to keep slugs off, maybe shrimp/prawn bits will do on the compost too - never thought of that, and we do eat a lot of them ... ... ... ...

Crikey, you must be very rich. Have you seen the price of prawns in the shell?

What a load of old codswallop.

Asian,orientals,..........all this PC stuff drives me nuts.

I bet you the lady with the fish heads does work or have connections with a takeaway.Of course all Chinese do not work in takeaways but round here they do and I bet in a lot of other places.Nothing racist about it......just people always keen to jump up and down on the PC band wagon.

The stuff stinks and you can not change facts.I would not tolerate it,at the very least she should dig the stuff in if she is so keen.

Buster don't bother replying,You are giving me such a laugh.Thanks for cheering me up ;D

So I take it you only use Growmore or Phostrogen on your plot - the nice clean fertilizers?  Some of my colleagues very expensive perfume makes my stomach turn but I usually smile and compliment their scent.

im apalled by the racist comments displayed on this thread,and have reported them accordingly. shame on those gulity!

I'm missing something here, where are the racist comments?

if you cant see them sinbad,i doubt its worth my pointing em out!

That's true Elvis.

But you and lottie lou must be overly sensitive to have taken such umbrage........................one has to wonder  ;D  Guess it takes all sorts especially now the occidentals have been thrown in the pot too  :)

Quotethe smell of fish is really no worse than chicken sh!t and manure

I think the point here is that this stuff is not being composted properly, but is just scattered about on the plot.

I wouldnt like it if my neighbours started spreading raw chicken or pig sh!t on their plot either, and I wouldnt dream of leaving piles of fresh humanure about.

Oh believe me betula the pleasure has been all mine  :-*dgillings said it all

The stuff stinks(statement in the bleeding obvious)

I would not tolerate it(like anyone would care)

Of course all Chinese do not work in takeaways but round here they do(you want to pop into Pizza hut and see an Italian or burger king and see a yank

Night night  ;)

I would guess Plymouth going by the name! I was there this week and admiring the allotments I could see on the hill behind the station next to a very large park.

The allotments you saw near the station are exactly where my plot is. How spooky!
Don't know any more about fish heads but many thanks for the welcome from yourself and the poster above (sorry name has vanished from screen).

You are a hoot Buster dear......watch the blood pressure now ;D

Locking this thread - it is very easy to type something which while not meant to be offensive can be.

We have visitors and members from all walks of life, please remember this when posting.

Thanks
