Now wondering whether I should send OH out to wee on the bottlebrush plant and the magnolia, both of which have suffered from the roebuck scratching his antlers on them. I’ve read that human urine can deter deer. Not sure if it would deter rats, they seem quite at home in sewers. Ive also read about the Romans using urine for bleaching purposes. Laundries would fulfil a dual purpose of offering an alternative ‘ public convenience’ by allowing male passers by to wee in the vats. Women presumably had to hold it in till they got home, or to a public bathhouse.
@jeannettecooperman Good article, although I did actually say, Mine always does it. 😇 even in the rain he will put on his waterproof coat and nip to the compost bins. Saves water from a toilet flush as well.

Oh no! @Lyn, I am so sorry--and especially sorry to your husband, to whom I have done a great injustice! I think I had "mine won't" jotted in my notes (for MY husband!) and then your lovely "Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor" and I screwed up and fused the two. Huge apologies!--I will fix it right away.
Not to worry, 🙂 We live in quite a remote area, he just pops up to the compost bin whenever. That’s why we get a very quick turnover of usable compost.
