      probably someone with delusions of grandeur about their lunar planting

        I noticed the difference between fresh crabs and dried crabs. I suppose crabs scuttling around your garden would make a change from slugs

              Well this is very interesting ...

              Potato Skins (ash): 0/5.18/27.5

              Potaote Tubers: 0.35/0.15/2.5

              Potatoe Vines (dried): 0.6/0.16/1.6

              Very high potash feed. Never would have thunk it. And considering there's always a good supply of skins it might be worth keeping these apart from now on.

                Someone with a large number of starfish rotting slowly in a bucket?

                  Don't run with scissors and don't chase sheep as people will not believe you when you say you're only after the wool

                    No entry for humanure, unfortunately. I wonder what "From Ocean" means, because at an N:P ratio of 2.4 it's not ocean water, algae or zooplankton. And why is it listed under R? And why is cow manure so different from cattle manure? The funniest one I think is insect manure, those must be really small droppings.

                      and that one might be already spoken for?
