  • Worst smell on the lotty?

    My least favourite smell on the lotty is some kind of dead nettle (I think it is), it absolutely reeks, I can't stand it. Much worse than comfrey tea

    The plot next to mine is not let - it is left as a 'wildlife area' due to the loads of slow worms that live along that side of the allotment site. Now there is a foxs' lair - and the worst smell of all was late this summer when an old fox died nearby and was quietly rotting within 6 foot of my plot.
    Whooops - now what are the dogs getting up to?

      Can I have two worst smells?

      The first is when a broody hen gets off her nest and has a sloppy poo right under your nose!
      The second is when a hen lays a 'softy' egg and it gets amalgamated into the nesting box straw!

      Must admit that both are closely followed by nettle and comfrey tea in the initial stages though!

            The dead blackbird I once found among the raspberry canes. Whooo - it reeked!

                  1 year old coffee grounds, I had about 10lb collected outside in a cooler box & forgot about them, they smelt worse than manure............. they still went round the fruit bushes & strawberry plants though. It'll either kill them or cure them..........

                      rotton brussels- i once rode, eventually, past a field of dead brussel sprouts which had been left in situ. horse reared, reversed, turned, reared again, for about 20 minutes, before i finally got her past-- the smell was appalling!

                            another nasty smell- wet wood, especially a piece of oak which has been submerged or very wet for any length of time- smells like particularily pungent dog---p

                              According to Mr in Pots its my bucket of comfrey/nettle tea, think I must be immune to it
