My father, a fine gardener, strongly believed in the power of urine as a fertilizer. Last thing at night, he would head for the compost heat and pee on it. He is not alone among gardeners, who also, if they own a dog, dilute that urine for a free method of creating bright green lawns.

Now a French start-up is taking a leaf from their books.

Quotes by Martin Walker (?)

“History's long rhythm of challenges and response, of solutions that breed new crises, is not to be interrupted. But the Cold War left one shining example of human wisdom as a legacy for the future.

The long confrontation of the Cold War, a struggle to the death between two systems for the mastery of human destiny, was managed and resolved without that nuclear war which lurked in the monstrous imminence in silos and submarines around the globe. That was the real victory.”

Above all, he could expect to be with these same people the following week and uncounted weeks ahead. Strange, he thought, that they never ran out of things to talk about: local politics, the economics of riding schools, the merits of local vineyards and the best way to prepare various dishes. As”
