Default pee in the pile

Semantics aside, we're saying the same thing -- this aspect of the
thread
is purely idiotic.

Not it's not, if you are healthy your OWN pee is NOT TOXIC IN ANY

WAY,SHAPE
OR FORM.

YOUR OWN.


A) The statement you quote above is in reference to the sidebar thread
suggesting that HIV can be transmitted via urinating into a compost pile.
That is pure foolishness -- the virus is not transmitted via the urine.

B) If you are healthy then it is still likely that there is a measure of
toxicity in the urine. Stating otherwise is simply not true, no matter how
much you wish it to be so.

C) As noted previously in this thread and elsewhere, the likelihood that the
contents of the urine that are not urea will have negative effects are
likely nil.

I still say the same as before though -- why bother? Compost piles do not
need urine; the only benefit is from nitrogen which is just as easily added
by simply throwing some bloodmeal on the pile.
