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
itself,
with or without urine. I've had as small an amount as a
wheelbarrow full
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
don'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
understand 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

The problem with that theory in respect of this material, is that it
has to be diluted with water!

Alan


So dilute your water with whiskey. ;-))

Aagghhh.........those two do not mix! Leave out the water
