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 |

Bob 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! Spider |

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

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 I draw the line at solids though lol 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. Pam in Bristol |

Rinse out the bottle & recycle. rob |
