Gotta luv 'em Barney eh?That’s just the sort of thing my dog would do if he could, even though he doesn’t have a litter tray. My dear wife spent £200 on a dog toilet for outside in the garden in the hope of hygienically centralising fallout - he uses it to sleep on - it’s still as clean as the day it arrived a couple of years ago.
There is a slight difference to the American “back yard” and the back yard one might find in Europe. Think postage stamp compared with Olympic swimming pool.
That's so true, we've got a small garden and everything is packed in like sardines! We don't have anywhere to store anything so last year, because we had so many potatoes I left a load in the ground over winter. When I dug them up in March (after being in the ground for 8 months all told) they were huge! and in perfect condition! One of the apple trees had too many apples on for me to pick and store so I just left them on the tree and was still picking them in December, the apples just got sweeterThere is a slight difference to the American “back yard” and the back yard one might find in Europe.

Good idea! I have my “potato” planted in a tub in my garden and my apple tree sits in a big clay pot and has five apples on it this year. It’s only three years old. I did have a lovely fig tree but it decided to take over the garden a bit like Hitler with Europe, so I had to call in the Americans to blast it out of the ground. It’s in my shed now being converted into inlay when it dries out.That's so true, we've got a small garden and everything is packed in like sardines!

Oh my goodness Barney! Why didn't you put the fig tree in a pot too??Good idea!

The roots were about 15 feet long. I can’t afford a pot that big!
I know what you mean! We sometimes buy buckets and suchlike, much, much cheaper than pretty pots and just as practicalThe roots were about 15 feet long. I can’t afford a pot that big!
