It has to be a HELL of a lot! Bacteria are pretty efficient at breaking
down aerated urine - and a suitable compost heap will ensure that the
urine is aerated.

The objection is to dog faeces, anyway, because of the diseases that
are carried by dog and cat faeces. Urine is usually sterile, and
doesn't contain any resistant spore/whatever diseases anyway, so no
form of urine is a problem on a compost heap in moderate quantities.

Anyway - I got a compost *bin* and I can't see them cocking their legs high
enough to get the right angle. ;-)


Now, I agree THAT is a problem :-)
