M, I do have Stroparia growing on the best ever raised bed in my backyard.  It's home to one of my mint beds that I dared the suckers to grow through eight to ten inches of the red oak stump, that was dying from the center, makes a wonderful raised bed and it's fun watching those pesky mint runners spreading across the top of the stump, before I turn them back towards the center planting area.  

I think for now I'll keep using the urine on my lazy compost piles.  I also plan to stop using it to charge my bio-char.  I'll just use the "worm" tea, until I learn more about how quickly these compounds break down.

Thanks all,

Peace

Gol-durn Jay thanks for the kind post.  I'm kinda having one of those moments as I was sure that I do not like you, along with that "bird" lady on the left coast.  Must be the increased blood flow or maybe a much better oxygen count now that the fluid built up is gone.

I'll have to spend some time thinking about this.  Please don't misunderstand I'm not ready to start a long distance hug fest, but should I do so, you're going to be the first, so there!!!

Or perhaps it is all Paul's fault with that silly be "nice" thingy???  

I do so hope that you are well and will always walk in Peace.  Thanks for making me smile!!

I have for many years done this very thing and I still do. I also use a much reduced ratio, cut with water for most of my houseplants.  And I also water my lazy compost with my urine.

I've just returned home from yet another hospital stay, ---------- and I agreed to go back on a somewhat long list of drugs (heart) does anyone know of a list of what drugs pass through our systems or a site I could look this up, what do you guys think?  Is this a problem or am I becoming "Wheaton" like and overreacting???

Thanks M, I didn't know that one could eat them!  I guess my question was not (again) worded well.  My fear was the plants need the winter's break to rest and await the return of longer days while listening to Earth's heartbeat.  Did the overwintered plant that you spoke of thrive or just kinda hang out till spring?
The bed in question will be removed later this year and I want to save as many plants as I can.  I also have a large group of Snow Drops in this bed so if anyone would like some send me a message and I'll get some out in the mail.

Does anyone here know if one can lift this plant (lysimachia nummular) from outdoor growing beds into pots to overwinter indoors?  If you have done this in the past, any special care needed, other than a good mist of H2O from time to time?

Rebecca, I'm not sure of your setup for outdoors, but if you have a covered area for canning, you might want to look for a used 30 inch gas stove, or a used drop in gas burner top.   You would need to change the gas orifices to ones for propane, this may be a lower cost than even a used Camp Chief.  I do know that brand and can say nothing bad regarding their products.


Peace

You may also need to make or find something three sided to serve as a screen for the wind, it could blow out or effect the flame ! (don't ask how I know this)

PS, I have also been known to take a "pee" on the compost piles from time to time.

I have also applied said liquid on some of my flowers to add a little extra flavor for Bambi and friends to feed on!!! (doesn't work all that great)
