P'ing (urine) in the garden
 

Weird question I know but bear with me. I don't like wasting anything
or filling my septic tank up too quickly.

Would there be any advantage, or disadvantage to collecting our urine
and using it in the garden? Even if it keeps the cats away will be
good.

I think I draw the line at solids though lol

Supposed to be useful as a compost accelerator although I stopped using
this method when the bin began to stink like a public toilet so I don't
know how effective it will be after only one moth of passing water on it.

I feel sorry for the moth, personally! :~)

Lloyd, you may certainly irrigate your compost heap. It is, as Bob says, a
useful accelerator. However, if it starts to smell as strong as Bob's heap,
it will probably make an excellent accelerant instead! Joking aside, you
could always dilute with plain water or build more heaps to spread the load,
so to speak.

I wouldn't want to 'water' plants that way, especially nettles ... legend
has it they make you pee more!

Doesn't your septic tank drain off liquid, ours did when we lived in
Norfolk, it went through 3 chambers and finally went into the earth.

I used to put pee on the compost but I had an accident one year coming
downstairs with it, so no more :-)

LOL that's a cracker ;)))))

Yes you are right of course, but I thought maybe a better use could be
found for it?

In reply to the others. Thanks.

Dont have a composter as I dont actually do much be keep it all fairly
trimmed...grass cuttings just lay there, or sometimes I sweep them
under the hedge in order to build up the void there (was thinking of
lining the bottoms of the hedges with drilled logs for the creepy
crawlies, mason bees etc, what do you people think?

So the pee would be failry well distributed around the garden, under
hedges etc.

I think you will find it too strong if used neat, or direct. It is
high in nitrogen, which is why it's good for compost acceration, but
direct on your plants may cause trouble. You would need to pee in a
bucket or can and dilute it before using on the garden.
I think it's better on an open compost heap than in a bin.

Do moths urinate on your compost?

BTW, my compost smells quite pleasant.

Aaaaaaagh! Just don't tell me! I know several of these men (and
their spouses, I hasten to say) I don't want to have them visit us
here and then I have a mental picture of them - aaaaagh!! Some things
are much, much better NOT left to the imagination!

Surely you're taking the ****! Of course we do.

And, to the people who complain about smell, many things decompose
better on a traditional open heap (it's better aerated). You can
add a lot of **** to that without trouble, not to say dead rats,
cooking oil, bones, fat etc. Provided you are also adding a fair
amount of vegetable matter, of course.
