Serious question: Urine as a nitrogen source for organiccomposting
UPDATE:
Here, for the record, is a picture of my ad hoc 'compost' bucket ... where I put all kitchen food-related trash (eggshells, banana peels, lettuce cores, chicken bones, fat cuttings, orange peels, stale bread, etc.): http://www4.picturepush.com/photo/a/...mg/7393442.gif Notice the patented NPK 12:1:2 fertilizing formula I've been using, thanks to all your advice! So far I've been emptying this about once a week into a large wheeled green compost bucket (which is half full and getting unwieldy). The bottle of urine you see there is about a day's output from yours truly: * That's about ~1.5 liter / day / person * Which is about 7.5 grams of Nitrogen per day * And about 6 pounds of Nitrogen, 1 pound Phosphorous, & 2 pounds of Potassium per year I wonder what a comparison cost would be for equivalent store bought NPK 12:1:2 fertilizer containing 6 pounds of nitrogen? |
