It's kind of traditional to put urine in the compost. It may be because
when
one is in the allotment or garden, It is inconvenient to go to a toilet or
get cleaned up to the point where the wife lets you indoors, especially if
you have lots more work to do. Some people say that using it neat is not a
good idea, so I get a bucket half full of water, retreat to the shed, pee
in
the bucket, and put that on the compost. No problem.

Steve,

I respectfully take exception to your statement "it's kind of
traditional..."

Because some people do it doesn't make it traditional. I personally know
of no gardeners that urinate, either directly or indirectly, in their
compost pile.
