And I suppose the antibiotic or other meds question would arise for
the organic gardener!

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.....!

So you won't be doing a Rolf Harris then? Nor be the person to have standing

Just out of interest talking about peeing and wearing my angling hat, are people aware that due to the very high levels of female hormones that are now flushed down sewers, the fish population of the rivers of England are
turning female to such an extent that there are in some cases not enough
males to ensure successful reproduction. On a lighter side maybe if some of our birth pill taking female gardeners were to water their wee onto cucumber plants it may reduce the need for the dependancy on female only varieties?
Best wishes Lannerman.

I thought I was the only older gent here until I seen Sacha's post. What
young folk don't seem to think about is when you get older the Doctors
put you on all sorts of prescription medicines so how can your drug
tainted sterilized urine on the compost pile be safe to use?.

I've heard of urine being used for compost piles many years ago but that
it was only being used by 3rd world people who were to poor to buy a box
of Miracle grow.

But the excuse is that it saves on flushing the loo.
There an article on this within the telegraph also. It surprises me
that it gets so much attention. I had always thought that there were a
number of people here who seemed a tad obsessed with it, but now I see
that they are clearly not the only ones.
I'm used the word "excuse" deliberately because somehow, call it
instinct, I often got the impression that what the somewhat potty pro-
pee proclaimers were really after was an excuse to 'mark' their
territory, as opposed to working in a very large garden, or that of
someone else's where it would be impractical to travel all the way
back and remove muddy footwear, or unwelcomed to do so.

Conversely, if one considers the content of Usenet to be but a
recycling of ideas and information, then what can taint a post is as
much what is omitted as what it contains. In this instance, you've
omitted to indicate which of Sacha's post you are referring to.

Since when has Miracle grow being a recognised compost accelerator?

You can't but, if it isn't, the drugs will probably kill you in
short order anyway.

Well, you haven't been following this group long, or read its FAQs.
All of us old-fashioned gentlemen **** on the compost heap, unless

"Except in cases of kidney or urinary tract infection (UTI), urine is virtually
sterile and nearly odourless."


It tastes rather salty.

With allowances for fictional licence, I once saw an American
detective programme in which one of the younger (late teens - early
twenties) characters was a registered sex-offender on account of
having peed into a public fountain.
It was not that the fountain was public that resulted in his
registration, but that there had been some (female) children in the
vicinity at the time.
I don't know if, for the sake of the realism, the kids had to be
female, otherwise, public urinals within the 'Gents' would be
problematic, or if, had the kids being male would have brought about
the same charges resulting from ****ing an non-designated, official
****ing point.

So, peeing in ones own compost bin, within one's own property within
sight of a minor....?

Probably not with my salt consumption, though I admit I haven't
tasted it. It will be salty if you are eating excess salt (as most
people do), and not if you don't.

You're certainly not the only older gent here but neither am I, being
of the female persuasion. ;-) I'm afraid my name causes a lot of
confusion. I think that if the pee is free and safe to use, why spend
money on something else? It's a well known breaker down of compost but
I raised the medical thing because what flitted through my mind is how
very careful some people are about not using animal manure that
contains veterinary medicines.
