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

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.

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.

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.

there most certainly is. They sometimes pop across into other groups

For a very strange meaning of the word "advanced". But, yes, I agree
that a good long lurk is worthwhile - it opened even my mind to the
behaviour of idiosyncratic subcultures.

I don't speak sheddi, but can read it, and have occasionally posted
items that have fitted in ....

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.

Aka the caff.

And don't forget alt.buttered.scones where I am told a lot of the
original sheddi have ended up.

This is uk.rec.gardening. We call a spade a spade. You may prefer
to call it micturation, but pissing is something that we all do every
day. And many of us piss on our compost heaps :-)

According to one unassailable Internet authority, that phrase
originated from an ancient Greek expression: _ta syka syka, te:n
skaphe:n de skaphe:n onomasein_ = "to call a fig a fig, a trough a
trough".
It was translated into English in 1542 by Nicholas
Udall in his translation of Erasmus's version as "to call a spade
[...] a spade".

above from -

http://www.yaelf.com/aueFAQ/miftocllspdspd.shtml

The interesting thing to me in all this, is that there are no
actual euphemisms, so far as I know, for figs, troughs, or spades.

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 ?

In which case the point of the saying surely, is that you should
in fact use euphemisms for things after all. I think.

I was, sadly, not present the day a group of fellow-higher-primates
went for the sustained-fire GPMG record: with x to the power n rounds
of ammunition going through, there was only one way to keep the barrel
