Don't worry is from the BBC so is quite safe to open.

I can't believe it's attracted all this comment, it's a non-question.

As we've all discovered, plant material composts. It sets off by itse
lf,
with or without urine. I've had as small an amount as a wheelbarrow f
ull
of weeds set off. Urinating on the compost stems from there being no
toilets on allotments. AFAIK it does no harm, but if you don't do it
the
stuff composts anyway.

Certainly but AIUI, it's acting as an accelerant. *I must admit I do
n't
quite see why this compost is needed so quickly but.....!

There is some stuff on salecannot remember the name but it is marketed
as an
organic accelerant for compost and costs a bomb, what I don't understan
d is
why people pay for it when it obviously comes free!

Alan

That's the theory behind this, of course but it still doesn't explain
why people need compost in *such* a hurry. *;-)

But, as already mentioned, if the compost acceleration is merely a by-
product to savings on water usage (loo flushing) then the focus is
environmental friendliness and not just to compost quickly

But-but-but, this subject has come up on urg many, many times. One of
the funniest posts ever made here was Judith Lea's account of saving
her accelerant and then tripping up when going downstairs - it was in
the traditions of the best British music hall! And that is just years
and years ago.
So up until now and the Telegraph pouncing on this green theory, it was
well known merely as an accelerant. Their theory sounds a big along
the lines of 'save water shower with a friend'. Then we need to know
how to produce more food on the allotments we're composting to
compensate for the potential results of showering together. ;-)
