Boring Bastards: The Quest For Glory

Somewhere In The Ether…

I’m a world class boring bastard and I must prove myself to all other boring bastards that I’m the best around

I’m therefore calling out all other boring bastards to battle me.

Simply say ‘I’m a boring bastard!’ to accept my challenge before posting here (on this thread) the most boring idea for a thread that you can muster.

I’ll lay the gauntlet down with the following and to give you an idea what to do:

‘Fence Panels - Vertical vs Horizontal; Which do you prefer?’

Over to you now my fine folks and may the most boring bastard win

As a country-dweller I have to go with vertical. Most of my fences are just vertical posts with wire link stretched across. Stock fencing, we call it. Horizontal fence panels are for fancy city folk.

"Jaffa cake. Cake or biscuit? "

It’s a cake. Because cakes go hard when you leave them out, whereas biscuits go soft.

Did you know the original court case about that was all because cakes and biscuits are taxed differently?

Boring (but true) fact: I used to know a girl who’s grandfather invented the edible ‘glue’ that keeps the Jaffa centre stuck to the biscuit….or cake…..depending upon one’s viewpoint

I would say on the basis of the people joining in the Jaffa Cake discussion that it cannot be considered boring. But fence panels is not either.

Livestock fencing is pretty much standard, but you can go with a slightly taller version for cows. We usually run barbed wire along the top too. But that’s mostly to deter humans.

Stock fencing has bigger gaps at the top and smaller gaps at the bottom, to stop smaller critters. Human ingenuity knows no bounds.

They’re usually ceramic (well, the ones I’ve seen at least) and with a tiny little scooped head (resembling a miniature ladle) They come with an integral mustard pot to; they’re really rather sweet

Line through is clearly superior as it's to easily distinguish between a 1 and 7 especially a European 1 which often has a more embellished upstroke than single vertical line we were taught.

I would also argue for the addition of a horizontal line through the letter z to differentiate it from a lazy number 2, this is the one part of my degree course I still use to this day.

I suppose it’s only fair to give you an answer to your original question OP. Fence panels? I couldn’t give a fuck what way they go as long as they were tall enough that I didn’t have to see any of the neighbours and likewise so they couldn’t look in on my and incessantly attempt to make conversation with me. Simple answer really.

Any advice on composting? I'm using cold compost bins but not adding any food waste to avoid pests. Big garden, lots of leaves and branches plus grass and the two bins drop down significantly enough every year that I never need to use the green bins thus saving the fee for them to be emptied. I have used some of the 'organic matter' to fill large planters but after 3 years I've still never had any proper compost?! Also water butts, good idea or not, pros/cons please?

Branches take a really, really long time to break down. You need a good mix of ‘greens’ and ‘browns’ - your grass cuttings and leaves are greens, but your branches don’t really count as browns. They won’t break down fast enough. So you could add torn up cardboard. Eggshells are good too. And coffee grounds. Then make sure you’re turning the compost over regularly, not just leaving it and crossing your fingers.

Also, water butts get a big thumbs up. And not just because they’re called butts.

For really good, nutritious compost with a good texture (not too slimey, not too dry and fibrous) you need to add vegetable peelings, fruit waste, plant prunings and grass cuttings. These break down quickly and provide nitrogen as and moisture. You also need to include "browns", such as torn up cardboard egg boxes, scrunched up paper and fallen leaves. These are slower to rot and provide fibre and carbon, and also allow air pockets to form in the mixture which you need for aerobic decomposition. Not enough air and you get anaerobic decomposition and smelly, slimy compost. Crushed eggshells are a good source of minerals such as calcium and magnesium.

Water butts, yay.

Banana skins work very well, most fruits should go in but stay away from anything that’s citrus as that repels the earthworms ( this is now too interesting), you can get secure food waste bins like a Hotbin or GreenCone that if used correctly make a massive difference to your garden with very little work, my apologies if all this has peaked your interest, also fences should be vertical to achieve better water runoff, slides out of the door reading an interesting book
