Animals in your garden

[Sheal]

it'll also make your garden unbearable to sit in, or cost you a lot of money.

Why would it do either of these please?

In Britain we have gun restrictions and if discovered killing cats we would be prosecuted.

because if you hadn't figured it yet, piss reeks.

Let's keep things civil, please @Icecold.

Thank you @Becky.

Human urine will sink into the soil and only smell temporarily, it is good fertilizer for your plants also. People who are camping in the wilderness often pee a circle around the tents to keep wolves and bears from getting too close. Peeing establishes territory and most wild animals will respect it and stay away.

Thank you @Becky.
it is good fertilizer for your plants also.

piss will cause fertilizer burn unless it's deluted to the point where it won't have much of an effect against cats.

Evidently human urine will benefit your plants, not harm them Aki. Reference the recent thread "the best fertilizer..." where experiments have been done on seedlings using human urine. The seedlings receiving human urine grew significantly better than the ones not given human urine.

it's generally diluted 1/10 incase you want to use it.

go with 1/15 if you're a male.

I'm not talking about using gallons of it Icecold but just enough to let cats know there's a boundary. Human urine will smell a lot less than cat urine.

it's like I'm talking to bear grylls.

@Icecold I asked you to play nice. There's no need to be rude or provocative, this is a friendly forum and that kind of behaviour is not welcome here.

 

[Beverly]

Thank you very much Becky. I chose to "ignore" this member (the only one i ignore on the forums). For people who are weary of and/or insulted by this kind of dialogue, this is one option. None of the posts appear on the threads of someone you set-up as being ignored although you do have an option to "show ignored content". Sometimes people who are rude do have some positive comments to add to a thread that may be worthwhile to read but i have not found that to be the case with this member, so i have resorted to the "ignore" option.

This little critter struck a post for me today.

How cute. How did you get so close or do you have a zoom lens. I recently had an echidna, Australian version of a hedgehog i think, in my front yard. By the time I got my ipad and ran down I unfortunately chased it away. I wish I'd just savoured the moment.

 

[granjera]

Thanks. My camera has zoom, but not ZOOM. It's a very good compact camera. The squirrel was only around 6 feet away.

Hmm...I see I misspelled "pose". Hate when that happens.

We all do that @granjera so i knew what you meant It is such a beautiful photo and with such clarity...it really made my day. Some days it just happens that the photo subject and the surroundings work together to make such a beautiful magic image.
