Title: urine in composting
Post by: sandallwood on December 04, 2006, 20:50:35
hi, am aware you can use  watered down urine to accelerate the composting process, but does any one know if there is a limit to how much you should put in and is there a specific time scale to doing this or can you do it at any time of year?
I currently use a  standard wrap compost bin.
thanks. :)

Put it on anything fibrous; it works best in summer since that's when decay goes fastest, and you're putting lots of stuff on the compost. if you put too much in it soaks out of the bottom and goes to waste; just get it damp and it'll do fine. Keep the rest for liquid manure.
