Fertilizer

So 4-5 weeks ago a poster mentioned standing eye height to a pair of ugly feet on an escalator.

It made me look honestly at my feet after a day in the garden without proper shoes. Grotesque. Cracked, calloused.

A footbath with all it's accompaniments was in my possession in a short space of time. (Unfortunately, an attendant didn't come with it.)

As Madge once said "you're soaking in it" it wasn't Trix(?) but probably Bi-carb/washing soda. But I was soaking and enjoying the bubbles and softening effect.

Then I had to manoeuvre my wonky knees, bad back and distended stomach to reach the feet to enable the salves/creams to be applied. All good.

A GRATER was provided to remove the "dead tissue". It came with its own "collection point". Very handy.

Where was I to deposit this waste?

Have I told you I had a stagnant non-growing, but not dead, Zygote Cactus in a pot just outside the door of my podiatry salon?

Yep, just sprinkled the stuff onto the soil of said plant 2-3 times a week since.

And now, the plant is thriving!!!

Proving I can find a use for almost anything!!

Ha Ha Ha.

Just went out to count. 16 new nodes.

On it's way to giving me a good display of flowers in the future, I hope.

Well Deb I expect it has had the same affect as if you buried a body under it

Thanks everyone, great to start off the day with a good giggle. I will never look at a cactus in the same way again, will always be wondering. Is part of Deb in there.

There are times when I'd like very much to use my OH as fertilizer

Soit's safe to say it now has more than just a toe-hold on life.
