Also have friends who have no indoor plumbing (choice) and used to do the same thing until one of them stumbled at the top of the stairs with a brimful chamber pot: they now leave the bucket right by the back-door. There's a little more http://url.ie/lpcm on the microbiochemistry of the process including a note that salt is a major component of most urine and that's another reason to dilute it 1:5 or 1:10 before applying to veg. In Crowdie and Cream and Crotal and White, Finlay J MacDonald talks about crofting on the Isle of Harris in the 1920s. A tubful of urine was essential to a final treatment in the production of Harris tweed.

I didn't think this up myself but I don't remember where I got the idea. My compost tends to be more brown (leaves) than green and the extra nitrogen seems to make a nice difference, my compost is great. People rave about my tomatoes and ask how I do it. I tell all, almost.

We are taught a distaste for it when young because the other stuff which comes out of our nether regions is disease-carrying, and urine, being strong-smelling, can make out clothes smelly and hence unacceptable in polite company.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
