In the States it is a crime to pull out your tally whacker in public or
in your own yard. It is considered an eye sore and what it produces is
now called dangerous bio-hazardous waste. I'll just stick to using
Miracle Grow.

Freshly voided urine is almost invariably sterile. Any bio-hazard it
causes or picks up is already in the potential compost material.

Why are people so prudish? I know that Adam Hart-Davis had a
straw-bale toilet in his Bristol garden and encouraged male visitors
to use it. Why are some people so prudish?
It's tough being a woman, but Google for Shewee.

Dear husband & I pee in a bucket kept next to loo. Every day the contents
are then poured on the compost heap. No need to display bodily parts to all
& sundry or to leap up & down waving knickers in the air as some of the more
prudish seem to think putting pee on the compost heap involves.

A also have a Shewee... every lady cyclist should have one ;-)

As for the prudishness - the conveniences of modern life and being well-away
from and ignorant of the requirements of plant growth, too many have lost
the understanding of the benefits of urine.

Oh right, so not specifically cycling as "wandering far from home"

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

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

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

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.

A limeric I wrote in memory of a friend at school telling me that his uncle used to pee in a bucket and water the roses:

There was on old man from Nantucket,
Who would widdle into a bucket,
He spread it around,
All over the ground
Most especially around his roses he'd chuck it.

He wasn't from Nantucket, but it does rhyme with bucket.

Urea is actually one of the most potent fertilisers as it is approximtely 43% Nitrogen (or so I remember from my college days).

Over use will damage the plants though!

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.

It must have some relevance to salt consumption I suppose, although I
try to keep my salt intake down due to high BP.
I am not about to indulge in further tests, however!

I listened to a Radio 4 programme some time ago where a group of
presenters were persuaded to "taste their own", and thought that if it
was good enough for R4 then I ought to try it as a one-off.
It's less distasteful if you let it cool first.

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.....!

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.


I wonder if their dogs trot along behind them..........

I've never tasted it yet, but if I were in a situation where no water was

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

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.


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


So that is where I've been going wrong!(:-)

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

Oldfashioned ladies discreetly avert their eyes. The rest of us don't
bother; and what's more, we
**** on the compost heap too.


But I have been under the impression that womens pee is not good for
compost, but mens pee is ideal.
