Sgt Pepper 64

Yes it really works and does no harm.
Anyone want to come around for a nice salad?

depends on what you're using as a dressing.

anyway, i often urinate in the garden; just a few places i can use which are out of sight of the neighbours.

Yes. I frequently urinate into a container and add to my plants. Lots of macro and micronutrients. It only smells if bacteria break the urea into ammonia which is highly potent to our olfactory complex (nose/smell). We waste so many nutrients putting our bowel and bladder waste into the sea causing polluting eutrophication. With regard to bowel waste nature is telling us to stay clear until it's ready - about a year and all the harmful bacteria are dead from bacteriophages and you could eat it!

Think I'll pass on the faeces diet.
I regularly add urine to the compost bin, best accelerator of all.

If you're around Kilbarrack and see me pissing on a hedge, it's not only because I'm locked.

Hocus Focus

I frequently irrigate my compost heap with urine.
