the local cats and the fertilizer
October 17, 2008Thanks to some very good recipes for organic fertilizer, I started making barrels of it this summer. Soybean meal was the main ingredient, and it smelled wholesome and pleasant. While repotting a new, but terribly potbound, gerbera, I used some of the magic stuff. Imagine my surprise when it smelled less than wonderful.
After checking the barrel, I noted some familiar shapes on the top. A family member had noticed that we have cat poop in various parts of the yard. I haven’t been shooing the neighborhood cats away, being overrun by squirrels of late.
There’s always a price to pay.
