It tastes rather salty.

I've never tasted it yet, but if I were in a situation where no water was
available I would do it without doubt.

If you've tasted Double Diamond or Watney's you'll have a good idea of
the taste.

Or Budweiser...

if the compost acceleration is merely a by-

I must admit that since I had a water meter installed, the motivation to
"water" my compost heap has increased. It's a dreadful waste of
drinkable water to flush a cistern full with every pee.

And as we get older the frequency increases...

You really need to be pretty deperate for the water content to drink
neat urine. It's chock full of stuff you body is trying to get rid
of, then you ingest it all again... You could of course put it into a
solar still and get clean water that way.

I'm used the word "excuse" deliberately because somehow, call it

someone else's where it would be impractical to travel all the way
back and remove muddy footwear, or unwelcomed to do so.

Ah, but my instinct related from the degree to which pro-pee postings
had a tone of gleeful proclamation and some people seemed eager to
repeat the exercise as if the scent of their last posting had faded
away.

Territory in this sense is not a warning on a boundary fence, mate, or
door, but an unfocused declaration to outline maleness or earthiness
or some-such.
Perhaps their own animal instincts are awry and that they do not post
so dam nearly obsessively on the subject to ward of competitors, to
protect their plants, nor necessarily to directly influence female
readers to be attracted to them given how marking can work that way
too.

Well, my understanding is that animals, both male and female use their
pee to communicate such matters of information, but as you can see it
wouldn't apply to women seeking to attract breeding males _unless_
they were really doing so to as a warning on a boundary, mate or door
as well.
But overall, I don't read through every thread on the subject so, from
what little I have paid attention too, often though I saw it
mentioned, I just came away with the impression it was chiefly a
mainly-male-posters led pet subject.

The urea. It's a highly nitrogenous chemical (actually the first
organic compound to be synthesised - I thought you would want to
know), and is sold commercially as a nitrogenous fertiliser. Many
bacteria can use it to build proteins - consider it a bit like a
beefsteak for bacteria :-)

Well, no longer. CAMRA managed to make such a laughing stock of
both that they improved their product out of all recognition.
Older people will remember Watney's Gaslight (before CAMRA),
DD is K9P and Grotneys. All were fully justified.

Or Budweiser...

WARM Budweiser. I did once, and was then sadder Budweiser.

It is quite good that some posters are willing to repeat the same advice

That's true, but I'm not thinking about those occasions when peeing in
the compost is mentioned in such circumstance, but those occasions
when it seems to get dragged in even in other threads a bit like
someone wants to show off... er... something.

I remember being told many years ago
that the sewer system required a certain amount of water to pass through it,
so cisterns served a necessary purpose.

If it's yellow, let in mellow.
If it's brown, flush it down.

We tend to do that as more water that is really required goes into
the septic tank.

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

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

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

I hope you allow for the wind too.

Oh dear! So, Martin.. when you pee you fart at the same time?
